If you live in the Cowichan Valley (Duncan, Ladysmith, Saltspring Island, Chemainus, Crofton, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill, Shawnigan Lake or Maple Bay inclusive), you can help the BC SPCA Cowichan & District Branch win $50,000 in cash and advertising from radio station 89.7 Sun FM.

Sun FM has proclaimed 2010 the Year of Giving, and is holding a Super Give contest in which local charities vie for $25,000 in advertising and $25,000 in cash. The charity with the most votes from members of the community wins the grand prize.

The BC SPCA's Cowichan & District Branch is one of 10 charity finalists! The branch cares for nearly 700 animals a year, reuniting them with their anxious guardians, rehoming them with new loving families, providing urgent veterinary services and sheltering them until their "forever family" comes to meet them.

Vote now and help the Cowichan branch continue its work on behalf of stray, homeless, abused and abandoned animals in our community.

Each year, the Cowichan & District Branch of the BC SPCA cares for hundreds of animals like Trigger. Please donate today. Your gift could change a life.
