Donate your Birthday to the Animals
Here’s two easy ways to give the animals something to celebrate this year!
- Create a personal fundraising page and share it with your family and friends to let them know that this year, instead of gifts, you’ll be collecting donations for the BC SPCA. You can personalize your page with your own message and pictures. Every dollar you raise goes straight to work helping animals in need.
- Get social. Is Facebook your friends’ preferred way to keep in touch? Start a facebook fundraiser. Log in to your facebook account and choose “Fundraisers” from the menu. Click Raise Money and search for “British Columbia SPCA” in the list of charities. It’s that easy!
