Awareness Week
AWARENESS WEEK 2006
‘It’s up to you’
RSPCA Awareness Week (1-8 October) is a chance to celebrate the joy, compassion and understanding that animals bring to our world.
Awareness Week has the dual purpose of raising awareness and much-needed funds for the many valuable services RSPCA Queensland provides to the community through a week long program of fun events and activities throughout the state of Queensland.
This year we are counting on your help to celebrate the joy that animals bring to our lives and help bring awareness to the vital role the RSPCA plays in your community.
You can help support RSPCA Awareness Week in a variety of ways and by doing so help us to give a second chance to thousands of animals in need who will come into the care of RSPCA this year.
How can I help?
There are many ways you, your friends, your school and colleagues and work place can support RSPCA Queensland during Awareness Week.
