Charity Drive

Good morning

*Afternoon. How I do enjoy being on holiday. I’ve decided to get up, at last, and do the write thing by making this post. By like, writing it.

Today is Thursday. I know this because yesterday was Wednesday. And because I just checked. Tomorrow is Friday, and we’ll be practising one last time before Cause4Paws this Sunday. For those of you who don’t know, Cause4Paws is a charity event being hosted by The Russian to raise money for The Lucky Lucy Foundation. It will be featuring a line up of 13 bands performing from 14:00 – 20:00, including us. For those of you who don’t know, The Lucky Lucy Foundation is an organisation which looks after abused and neglected animals. They cover rescue, treatment, rehabilitation of the animals and help to find loving homes for them.

It feels great getting involved in an event like this. Yes, The Russian is in Durbanville. Yes, that is mildly inconvenient. But it’s about much more than that. Seeing the amount of sponsors and bands that have gotten involved, seeing the effort being put into the event and the passion people have for the charity, and getting involved yourself, is worth the mild inconvenience. Seeing what people can accomplish if they’re willing to put in effort is inspiring. After all the effort that’s already been put in, the least we can do is overcome the mild inconvenience and support this event.

A few days down the line, when we check up on The Luck Lucy Foundation’s Facebook page and see all the food, blankets, cleaning products and other supplies they’ve managed to get after Cause4Paws, we’ll know that it was worth a slightly longer than usual car journey.

We’d love for as many of you to support as possible, the link to the Facebook event is below. “Entrance” is a donation of R30 to the charity. Other donations are more than welcome on the day; the Foundation is always in need of supplies.

Something to consider on this fine Thursday afternoon.
