Kyleigh Buckton, who had holes in heart at birth and had to undergo several operations, continues today to want to give back to the community that helped her family through a difficult time at her birth.
Kyleigh is turning 10 next week and has developed a passion for dogs so, instead of having a birthday party, she has decided to hold a FUNdraising doggie stand on Saturday, May 16th.
At the doggie stand at Wellington and River Streets in Port Elgin from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., there will be treats, tennis balls (every dog’s favourite for fetch), cupcakes for humans and pup cakes for furry friends, all for sale for a special cause.
The funds will go to ‘Save Me’ Dog Rescue’s forever fosters program. Some dogs are unable to be adopted for a variety of reasons such as medical conditions and the foster program ensures they have a home. That being said, supplies are needed and monies raised go toward help pay for things such as their food, vet visits and medications.
Kyleigh has already raised $280 selling bracelets … and local photographer Jennifer O’Reilly has also donated one pet portrait to be raffled off in addition to a raffle for a basket of goodies.
Stop by tomorrow, Saturday May 16th, and help Kyleigh help her furry friends.
