Birthday Coming Up? Make It Count for Animals!<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Support the Vereeniging & Vanderbijlpark SPCA<\/strong> on Your Special Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Birthdays should be meaningful\u2026 and what better way to celebrate than by helping animals in need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, instead of receiving more bath soaps, ties, bouquets, coasters, or toys that pile up, why not ask your friends and family to donate to the Vereeniging & Vanderbijlpark SPCA<\/strong> in lieu of a birthday gift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple. It\u2019s safe. And it makes a real difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 3: Share the Love<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udcca How Do I Track Progress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Your page includes a fundraising thermometer that shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • How much has been raised<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • How close you are to your goal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              It\u2019s exciting to watch the total grow \u2014 and to know each rand is helping an animal receive food, shelter, veterinary care and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
