The Buddy Foundation is a
fairly new non-profit organization that was created to provide an alternative
for homeless pets throughout our community by giving them a second chance to a
happy life. Through donations acquired
they are able to save pets in need and provide them with veterinary care and
foster homes while they await adoption.
C.C. Winn High School has
been donating their time, as well as various products to help them with their
charitable work.
On July 22nd, C.C.
Winn Student Council made a large donation of sodas to the Buddy Foundation for
their BBQ brisket plate sale to be held July 30th. Student Council and National Honor Society have also made several
donations of dog food, bedding, blankets, collars, etc. for those pets that are
rescued and held while receiving medical treatment.
Earlier this summer StuCo
officers and members attended “Buddy & Maddie's Birthday Pawty” held at the
Maverick County Lake. The students had a blast playing with the pets put
up for adoption while volunteering to carry signs and collect donations to help
fund the rescues. The event had an
amazing turn out and 11 dogs were adopted that day!
Winn’s JROTC and StuCo members
have also participated in the “Buddy Wash”, where they volunteered to bathe
their new furry friends in efforts to help raise funds for the Buddy Foundation.
If you would like any
information on this organization or would like to help make a donation, please
contact Winn StuCo through their Facebook page.
