Augie Delta Chi's help QC Animals!
Donation protected
Over the next couple weeks, Delta Chi Theta is working hard to raise money for our service partner, the Quad City Animal Welfare Center. During the month of September, Delta Chi's will be partaking in training that will certify us to volunteer for the animal shelter. We will aid in completing the jobs that they have little time do like socializing with the animals and exercising the dogs on much needed walks.
Everyone who has or had a pet knows how they all have their own personalities and truly become part of the family. It often seems as though we do not deserve such loyal creatures who love us unconditionally. This is why Delta Chi Theta as a whole feels passionate towards this organization and fundraiser. Dogs, cats, and other pets are often not spayed or neutered leaving many animals left on the street. By donating and volunteering at shelters that offer homes to abandoned animals and offer discounted neutering/spaying, we can help save our furry friends. The Quad City Animal Welfare Center offers both of these services. They are currently just opened another facility where they still need money buy more equipment and supplies.
Specifically, the mission of the QCAWC is to operate as a shelter for homeless animals, to offer a spay and neuter program, and provide humane education. They are the only full-service, no-kill shelter serving the Quad-Cities area and operate solely on donations. This is where Delta Chi Theta comes in!
OUR EVENT:
For our annual Fall Car Wash we will be donating all proceeds to QCAWC this year. New to the event this year is a dog wash alongside the car wash. Our goal is to get families and parents more involved by holding the event during Augustana's Parent's Weekend which is September 16-18th.
The Car & Dog Wash will be held in Augustana's Centennial Parking Lot on Sunday, September 18th from 12:30-3pm. We invite you to come get your car washed by your daughter and her sisters. And don't forget to bring your dog for a bath as well! The event is donation based, and there will be homemade dog treats for sale! Please help us reach our financial goal and help save more animals! Delta Chi Theta hopes to see you there! If you can't come, please consider donating on this GoFundMe page!
