Fundraising for Farley
Posted: 2013-10-10
October is has arrived, which means Farley Month is in full effect!
Established by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) in 2002, the Farley Foundation helps sick and injured pets belonging to low-income seniors and people with disabilities. It offers financial assistance to veterinary clinics in Ontario to help cover the cost of providing necessary veterinary care for pets belonging to seniors receiving the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) or people with disabilities who receive the Ontario Disability Support Payment (ODSP), and who cannot otherwise afford treatment for their pets. For more information, visit their website at www.farleyfoundation.org.
Last year, with the help of our amazing staff, clients and friends, we were able to reach Silver status by raising over $2500! This year, we are determined to double last years achievement, and we hope to raise over $5000!
Our staff have been working very hard to put together various fundraising activities. What can you do to help raise money for Farley? Keep reading below!
Farley Memorabilia
Our lovely ladies at reception would love to help you with the purchase of a Farley Paw Print to help decorate our Farley wall for $2.00.
Homemade Cookie Bags
Our staff slaved in the kitchen to hand make these cookie bags, also available at reception, coming in liver and peanutbutter flavours! Yummy! Treat your dog for $5.00.
Farley Spa Days and Nail Trims
This is perhaps the highlight of our Farley Month, and we suggest you take advantage of it while you can, as spaces are filling up very quickly! They are pampered with a hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner, and brushed out to show their beauty! Their nails and ears are tended to carefully as needed. You can treat your pet to the following luxuries during our spa days:
- Farley Nail Trims: $20
- Spa Day (Bath, Blow Dry, Nails & Ears): $45
- Spa Day Deluxe: To add anal gland expression or Glamor Shots add an additional $10 each
Glamour Shots
The Glamour Shots are taken here in our clinic by one of our wonderful animal care attendants, and talented photographer – Karen! To the left is an example of her work, with Madison showing off after she had her Spa Day!
The Spa Days and Glamor Shots are hosted here at our clinic, and performed by our staff who are generously donating their time for charity. Call us to book your appointment today at 905-285-0002 or by e-mail at info@westbridgevet.com!
