Tickets for this year’s Hill’s Pet Nutrition1000 Paws Walk raffle are available now at outlets and veterinary clinics across the Midlands.
Geoff Calmeyer, Chairman of the Hill’s 1000 Paws Walk for SPCAs steering committee said: “At just R10 a ticket, this is a fun way to stand a chance of winning some really wonderful prizes, including luxury getaways, and supporting a very worthy cause - last year the raffle brought in almost R80,000.00!”
The raffle is part of the Hill’s 1000 Paws Walk for SPCAs fundraising drive that includes the1000 Paws Walk event, to be held on Sunday 9 July at Highgate Wine Estate next to Piggly Wiggly - Midlands, and a schools’ collection tin competition to see which class per participating school can raise the most money. All funds raised by this invaluable annual fundraising campaign, now in its 14th year, are divided equally between the three participating SPCAs that serve the animals and impoverished communities of the KZN Midlands, namely the uMngeni SPCA, Mooi River & District SPCA, and SPCA Pietermaritzburg.
The most ‘valuable’ raffle prize is worth almost R9 000.00, for a 2-night stay for two people, including breakfast and a 5-course dinner one night, at the luxurious Qambathi Mountain Lodge in the Kamberg. This was the chosen home-from-home of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise while filming in the area last year.
Worth R7 580.00 is the prize for two for 2-nights at the magnificent Cathedral Peak Hotel in the Drakensberg that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner each day.
Another prize is a two-night stay for two at The Cavern Resort Drakensberg, valued at R7 080.00, which includes all meals, teas and a guided morning hike.
One of the raffle’s most popular prizes, generously donated for the past few years, is a 1-night dinner, bed and breakfast stay at the gastronomically-celebrated Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse, valued at R6 200.00.
The raffle winners will be drawn at the Hill’s 1000 Paws Walk event on 9 July, so get your tickets now and stand a chance to win while helping the area’s animals in need.
