Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team (ALERT) is aiming to raise $20,000 in support of their vital animal rescue services through the launch of their annual fundraiser raffle.
ALERT is dedicated to animal welfare through the preparation for and the actual rescue and shelter of domestic animals and livestock in a disaster. Volunteers are mobilized when local authorities request ALERT’s help and when Emergency Management BC’s Emergency Support Services is activated.
This year’s raffle features an array of thrilling local adventures, including a wine tour on horseback, a helicopter ride for nine, and rounds of golf at prestigious courses such as Predator Ridge and Canyon Desert. The first prize is valued at over $6,000.
“ALERT relies entirely on community donations to carry out our mission of rescuing and sheltering animals during disasters, such as our response to the McDougall Creek fire in 2023,” said Daryl Meyers, President of ALERT.
“All proceeds from this fundraiser will directly benefit our efforts to secure essential resources, establish temporary animal relief shelters, conduct training exercises, and support foster families.”
Meyers continued, “We are thrilled about the incredible prizes available in this year’s raffle and encourage the community to purchase tickets online today.”
Tickets can be purchased through the following link: ALERT Raffle Fundraiser. The draw date is set for September 28, with limited tickets available.
