As Promised, Highlights Of Your Ideas
After weeks of preparation and excitement, we’re so thrilled that ASPCA DAY will finally be here tomorrow! Iasked you what you’re doing to help celebrate. Here are some highlights from you guys:
*My friends and I put posters around our school and made an announcement on the intercom, and told everyone to go orange for the animals. We made T-shirts for Thursday April 10 and sold them, and now we are going to donate that money to ASPCA. So on Thursday everyone will wear their orange shirts.

*One member, Jamie, wanted to give a shout out to a special vet:
How about some recognition for the people who do it every day! Here in Spokane, WA, Dr. Kathy Tucker volunteers her time (and I'm sure her money for the medications) every week to give shots and basic veterinary care to the pets of homeless and low income individuals. Without her, many pets would go without needed vaccinations and health care. She has been doing this for as long as I can remember and does it free of charge (if you can't afford to donate). I've never seen her turn anyone away based on ability to pay. Hurray for Dr. Tucker—somebody should give her some recognition for her dedication to the health and welfare of animals!!!
(Thanks, Jamie, you did just that!)
*And hey, ASPCA Day even brings some laughs:
Mad Cowford Improv Presents Comedy for Critters
Jacksonville’s Improv Troupe Hosts Comedy Show to Benefit ASPCA
Mad Cowford Improv, Jacksonville’s only live improvisational comedy troupe will host a comedy show to benefit the ASPCA. This event is being sponsored by Allstate Credit Division.
The comedy show takes place to bring awareness to ASPCA Day on April 10th which is the animal rescue organization’s 142nd anniversary. Performers will wear orange to promote awareness of animal rescue, and audience members are also encouraged to wear orange. There is a suggested donation of $10.00 for tickets. 100% of proceeds benefit the ASPCA and Allstate Credit Division will match all donations with an additional 15%.
Mad Cowford Improv organized the comedy event in recognition of the ASPCA’s contributions to the First Coast. Last year the ASPCA provided a $10,000 emergency grant to the Jacksonville Humane Society after a tragic fire consumed one of the buildings that had housed over 150 dogs and cats. The ASPCA continues to lessen the injustices animals face and battle animal cruelty, whether it’s saving a pet that has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country. The organization also provides training to police officers so they can recognize animal cruelty and take appropriate action.
“Many of the Mad Cowford players have rescued pets, so the ASPCA is an organization we believe in,” says cast director John Kalinowski. “It’s the APSCA’s 142nd birthday, which of course is 994 in dog years. Go Orange!”
