Team Spirit for Biscuit We’ve got the spirit yes we do, we’ve got the spirit how bout you?! In June 2007 a women’s fastball team raised $230 towards the medical care of homeless animals. Does your sports team have a tournament coming up this summer? Raising funds at a team event is fun and easy to do! Here is what you will need for the day:
Contact Melissa at mbalfour@spca.bc.ca or 604-647-1329 to get a Biscuit Fund-raising kit including posters and donation cans. |
At the movies with Biscuit Got the latest DVD? Planning on having a few people over? Make it a cinematic evening they will never forget and help the animals! What you will need:
Have your guests donate the price of admission to your film screening to the Biscuit Fund! This idea also works well if you have access to a projector and you can watch the film outdoors. Grab some lawn chairs and watch the Stars under the stars! |
Drink, Music and the Biscuit Fund Can’t think of a better way to spend an evening! If you have that organizing “magic touch”, plan a Pub Night with proceeds going towards the medical care of injured homeless and wild animals. Many Pubs are very happy to host fundraising events and can even provide you with some information on local bands and finding some great raffle prizes. Follow the checklist below just in case you haven’t thought of everything!
All events will be listed on the Biscuit Fund home page under the Upcoming Events section. Depending on the time of year, we may also be able to list your party in our newsletter! |

Biscuit’s Brown Bag Benefit Here is a fun and simple fundraising idea for groups of friends to do together! The Biscuit Fund challenges you and your friends to bring your lunch to work for one week and to donate the proceeds of the lunch money you save to the Biscuit Fund. We’ve even created some labels that you can print and stick onto a brown paper bag!
Show everyone at work and school that you are a proud supporter of the Biscuit Fund! |
Biscuit EmBARKment In November 2006 a group of Marketing/PR students from Kwantlen College decided to raise money for the Biscuit Fund as their class project! They formed a company called FUSION EVENTS and began the rewarding work of putting a stylish and classy cocktail evening together. The party was held at Vancouver hot spot Ginger 62 and the bar even created a Martini especially named after Manuel our Biscuit Fund Spokesdog! Several local celebrities donated art made by their creative dogs which was then put up for silent auction. The evening was a huge success raising over $5,000! For an example of the Biscuit EmBARKment poster click here and for the invitation click here. If you are interested in organizing a large event for the Biscuit Fund please contact Melissa Balfour at mbalfour@spca.bc.ca or 604-647-1329. |

Help! I need a… Animals that arrive at the BC SPCA can require a number of different medical treatments. Whether it’s a full dental cleaning or surgery to fix a fractured leg, depending on how they were treated before they came into our care, the possibilities are endless. This fundraising approach can work in two different ways. If you know someone who owns a store approach them with the idea of having customers donate $2 towards the dental care or surgery of a specific animal. The customer will be able to write their name on a “Postcard” with the picture of an animal they have helped. Then display the “Postcard” on a wall display reserved for your event. If you don’t have access to anyone with a store, try and see if you can get a display at a mall or even at a local fair! If you are interested in trying out this idea please contact Melissa at mbalfour@spca.bc.ca or 604-647-1329. |

Happy Birthday to You or Your Puppy or your Boss or your Friend… Whether it’s your puppy’s 1st or your 40th birthday celebrate it with the Biscuit Fund! Instead of getting presents this year, make your gifts count towards animals in need. You can choose to either have your birthday guests donate the cost of a present to the Biscuit Fund or ask them to purchase any of the items located on the Wish List! Your local shelter is always in need of certain items and they will be most grateful for any birthday gifts you wish to share. Make it a theme party! Check out our Party Planner Page for some great ideas and the Wish List. |
Biscuit Fund Knitting Circle Volunteer your time to help the animals without leaving your house! The Biscuit Fund Knitting Circle has already done two patterns, baby hat and booties and a cat blanket. Shiloh at the Vancouver SPCA can be seen in this photo enjoying his new blanket! A new pattern is sent out twice a year and all you need to do is follow the knitting instructions and forward the finished project on to our office! When we receive enough goodies we’ll be selling them to raise money for needy animals. Contact Melissa at mbalfour@spca.bc.ca for the latest pattern! |
