What a great idea! Recently a donor came to the front desk at teh Carla Cumming Sojonky Adoption Centre with a "bucket" full of coins and a few $5 bills. She had invited a few friends over for a small get together and asked them to bring their spare change. She had the bucket with images of dogs and cats taped to the outside and a small slot cut in the top on a table by the entrance. She collected $153. We counted the coins (and bills).
That more than covered our veterinary care and animal supplies for one day. Just imagine, if 364 more people had a party.
We can help anyone else who would like to try this. We will supply dog and cat images and we will count the money. Contact info@bowvalleyspca.org
