Breakfast to benefit animal shelter
Eat breakfast for the dogs and cats of the Aiken County Animal Shelter.
Members of the Animal Control Advisory Board have planned a June 6 breakfast benefit at Applebee’s with proceeds going to the County shelter.
This is the shelter’s first official fundraiser, and the staff is excited.
“Any time we can hold a function and increase donations and make people aware of our location and adoptions, it’s a win-win situation,” said Bobby Arthurs, Animal Control chief enforcement officer.
The breakfast will be from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Applebee’s, 1360 Whiskey Road.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and tips are welcome. Carry-out is $6. Bacon, eggs, pancakes and coffee or tea are included in the ticket price.
“We have to take responsibility for the animals in Aiken County,” board member Jennifer Miller said. “The shelter really needs a commercial washer and dryer and desperately needs to be expanded.”
“We tried to make it affordable so everyone can participate,” Miller said.
Tickets are available in advance at Aiken Saddlery & Supply, Aiken Animal Hospital, Silver Bluff Animal Hospital, The Ark Animal Hospital or The Bone-i-Fide Bakery. Tickets will also be available at the door.
“We also hope people will come who haven’t bought tickets yet and get them at the door,” Miller said.
