Come out and help us push our Pennies for Puppies penny drive at Boca Raton Elementary on Friday, April 3rd 10 AM to 2 PM!!
We need 6-8 people to help host presentations for kindergarteners, 1st grade through 3rd graders, and 4th through 5th graders. The presentations will focus on fun facts and activities to promote education on humane treatment of animals, responsibilities involved in owning a pet and the importance of proper nutrition, vet care and hygiene when owning a pet. Florida Humane Society will be joining us at each school with a "mascot" puppy or kitten for the kids to play with.
After our presentations are done, we will leave a donation box behind at the school for the week-long penny drive. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Florida Humane Society to help support their efforts to provide medical care for their shelter pets.
We will be presenting at a total of 6 schools throughout the month of May so, if you are interested in volunteering, please register at the school(s) you would like to volunteer at. You can do this by stopping by Addison Mizner, Boca Raton Elementary, Hammock Point, Del Prado, or S.D. Spady and filling out a background check in their offices. Make sure to register at least three weeks before the presentation dates because it takes time to get approved. This is necessary so the schools can ensure the safety of the children.
For questions on the project, duties involved or presentations at this or other event dates, please contact Liz Hodge at ehodge@fau.edu.
