We’d like to share with you a bit about our Benefit Fund. Drs. Sam and Annemarie and the staff wanted to be able to have a resource for folks who simply just don’t have “extra” funds available when something really unpleasant happens to their pet. A sudden, acute illness in a young cat….a family dog who escapes the home and gets hit by a car. People make the decision to have an animal companion with every intention of caring for them…and they do. (And, please know…we’re speaking from personal experience). But, sometimes these things happen and we find ourselves stuck. It’s an emotional, gut-wrenching decision. And the very real and tangible aspect of MONEY comes into play. That’s why we started this fund. We’ve assisted several folks…by contributing a designated dollar amount toward the total cost of a procedure or hospitalization. And, it’s been a wonderful thing for everyone.
Over the years, we’ve tried different fund-raising activities….pictures with Santa, a raffle for an Easter Basket. And, they’ve been moderately successful. We also deposit all of the fees we generate from the Rabies Clinic into this account. And, any rebates Silver Maple gets from food or drug purchases, go into that account. We’ve also had clients over the years who have made generous and very much appreciated contributions.
We are selling raffle tickets 1 for $ 5.00 or 3 for $ 10.00
All proceeds go to the Silver Maple Veterinary Clinic Benefit Fund
