Care for animals
Contestants in a beauty pageant have showed they care for their furry friends by gathering substantial donations for an animal charity.
The Eden SA 2021 beauty pageant crowning took place on Friday, 30 April, at the Diaz Hotel in Mossel Bay.
The organiser of the pageant, Karen Gray, said: “As the director of Eden SA Pageants I pride myself in the fact that all the contestants care about our furry friends. With every pageant and competition I request that each contestant brings an item of dog or cat food.
“This year’s seniors in the Eden SA pageant outdid themselves and even brought toys and blankets.
“Our Charity Award winner, Tiffany Vlok, really went over and above what was expected of her. She managed to secure a permanent sponsorship of dog and cat food of R1 200 per month for ODIN (Oudtshoorn Dogs in Need) as well as a stunning trauma dog kennel and toys, extra food and also building materials for the extension of the cattery.
“Rosie Venter also made her contribution of cement towards the project. My aim is to make people more aware of the need out there. Then they also have a part in caring for our animals.
“Other contestants also made cash donations and building material donations to ODIN,” Karen said.
“Well done ladies and thank you very much.”
