SPCA - Donation

Room 8 decided to donate the $337.50 raised at the Jump-Jam-athon to the SPCA. Great job Room 8.

Dear Mrs Helen Taege, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your donation. Thank you for caring so deeply about saving the lives of animals in need, and helping to ensure that they enjoy a life free from cruelty, abuse and neglect. Your support will mean that we can give animals in need the love and care they deserve, before we find them new homes. We could not save these animals without you, so thank you once again. We really do appreciate your support. Yours sincerely, Andrea Midgen CEO, SPCA Auckland
