Fundraising
In order to support our costs of helping animals in times of disaster, we are always seeking unique and fun opportunities for fundraising.
CDART YARD SALE
CDART held a huge yard sale on Saturday, June 19th, 2010 from 9am - 2pm in the parking lot at Prospera Place in Kelowna, BC (Southwest corner at Water/Cawston). All proceeds will go towards funding the purchasing of disaster response supplies. View the CDART yard sale poster.
The sale included furniture, books, Christmas decorations, lots of childrens' clothes and toys, linens, men and ladies' clothing, china, ornaments, craft supplies, framed pictures, baskets, a manly man table, appliances and a whole bunch more. We had the best deals in town, and lots of folks loaded up their vehicles with great finds! 103.9 The Juice showed up in the Juice Cruiser to give out juicy refreshments to all the volunteers working under the hot sun.
We plan on doing this again so when we do, mark it on your calendar, and spread the word by emailing your friends and family!
THE COOKIE WALK
Every December in Penticton, CDART holds a cookie sale which we call the Cookie Walk.Volunteers bake many assorted varieties of cookies which buyers can select and mix and pay for by the pound/kilogram. This fundraiser has proven to be extremely popular and has now become a tradition amongst many followers.
I HEART ANIMALS BANQUET
Please check the Critteraid website at www.critteraid.org for updates on the
annual I HEART ANIMALS BANQUET to be held next
in February 5th, 2011 at the Lakeside Resort. This is an annual fundraiser for Critteraid and will focus on some specific divisions of
Critteraid, including CDART.
CRITTERAID MUTT STRUT
CDART volunteers are offered the benefit of raising money for their team through the Critteraid Mutt Strut. The first Saturday every June, as part of Summerland's Action Festival, Mutt Strutters meet in Summerland and submit their pledges for themselves and their dog. Sometimes, they can even borrow a dog to walk with. The Mutt Strut is a very popular part of the Action Festival Parade and pledgers reaching more than $25 will receive a Critteraid T-shirt and a bandana for their dog. The dogs love hearing the cheers as they walk along the parade route!
