Over $1000 raised in 5th Annual CCSPCA SNAP Mum Sale
CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County SPCA Spay Neuter Assistance Program raised more than $1,000 in its 5th Annual Fall Mum Sale, a portion of that due to the generosity and commitment of a Norwich fifth-grader.
According to SNAP founder Diane Troxell, 10-year-old Tessa Markham, a student at Perry Browne Intermediate School, purchased $90 worth of mums to support the program.
“She saved money for a year from birthdays and holidays,” said Troxell. “Tessa has been brought up to respect animals. She is an advocate for spaying and neutering all pets.”
Markham and her family adopted their dog, Carly, through the CCSPCA five years ago.
SNAP, founded in May of 2003, strives to solve the problem of dog and cat overpopulation in Chenango County by providing assistance to qualified pet owners to spay and neuter pets.
Since its inception, the program has helped spay or neuter more than 800 cats and dogs, said the SNAP founder. “It has significantly reduced the amount of animals entering the shelter.”
Donations and fundraisers make it possible for the non-profit to continue their work. “All money raised goes directly to pay the veterinarians that perform the surgeries,” explained Troxell.
In addition to the annual Mum Sale, SNAP also raises money throughout the year with a continuous bottle drive.
“You can leave your redeemable cans and bottles off at the Chenango County SPCA in Norwich at the bottle shed or hand deliver them to Our New Beginnings bottle redemption center on Route 12 in Norwich, just mention they are for SNAP,” said Troxell.
