Raffle prizes for the Summer BBQ!
May 24th, 2024
Written by: Jo Loveridge
At this years PFMeet Summer BBQ, we’re looking to raise money for our nominated charity The Cat Welfare Group. I volunteer for the charity myself, so I know first hand the amazing work they do across the South Coast taking care of and rehoming stray and abandoned cats. And with that how crucial it is to raise funds.
We’ve already been lucky enough to have all these incredible donations, and we’re open to more, so if you’d like to donate something, give me a shout at joanna@pfmeet.co.uk and I’ll give your business plenty of shout outs! All these prizes will be available at the Summer BBQ.
