YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK OUT FOR ANIMALS - This Saturday - 17th Jul '10

Please join us on Saturday morning to raise money for our cause! It's a great way to get Blue Cross some much-needed funding especially since we are still in need of a corpus fund that can keep our rescue work going. Details are below and please contact IAYP's representatives directly(their numbers are at the end of this email) as BC isn't holding tickets for this one - IAYP is in charge of that aspect.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes,
Blue Cross team

YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK OUT FOR ANIMALS
The prestigious International Award for Young People (IAYP) – the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is joining hands with the Blue Cross of India to raise awareness and funds for animal welfare.

A walkathon in aid of Blue Cross of India will be held on 17th of July from Labour Statue to Gandhi Statue on Marina at 6.30 am. The walk will bring together youngsters from schools, colleges and organizations and is aimed at bringing together Chennai’s younger generation to pledge their commitment to the cause of animals. About 5000 to 7500 participants are expected to attend, and the group will include a wide spectrum of personalities from all walks of life.
The Highlights of the Event

The participants will qualify for a part of their service section at any levels of Bronze/ Silver/ Gold Award of the IAYP.
