Our involvement in charity and upliftment programs
Our committee is dedicated not only to running an outstanding event, but also to making a difference in the world. We are making an extended effort to reach out, to help, to educate and to better the lives of many people and their dogs.
The two animal related charities we support and assist are the Mdzananda Animal Clinic (in a local township of Khayelitsha) and TEARS.
We are also involved in educational visits to schools and have been involved in outreach projects in underprivaleged areas. See more pics.
