for a cause: Shannon conducts one of the previous quiz nights
GULF WEEKLY-
Supporters of one of Bahrain’s most loved animal charities are rallying around to raise funds for its shelter and programme, during a special Quiz Night being hosted next week.
The fundraiser for Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA) will be hosted next Tuesday, April 23, at 7pm, by Radio Bahrain’s Shannon Crockett, who also runs the Brain Busters trivia in GulfWeekly.
“We have more than 70 dogs and 40 cats at the shelter, plus all the birds, chickens, ducks and terrapins, and this fundraiser, along with our garden parties, afternoon teas, black tie dinners and sponsored walks will help us take care of them,” BSPCA fundraiser Rachel Gibson told GulfWeekly.
“Proceeds from this event are expected to go towards operating our free catch-neuter-return initiative for cats and dogs.”
The event will take place at the Candles hall within the Dilmun Club and feature a slew of prizes and fun activities, in addition to the trivia contest.
The BSPCA was founded in 1979 and is Bahrain’s oldest animal rescue centre. Last year, it suffered from a severe lack of donations, and kind-hearted donors have kept it going.
The organisation plans to conduct more events throughout the year to be able to take care of stray or abandoned cats, dogs and other pets across the kingdom.
