Prizing
The top two fundraisers will each win a place for their pet to be featured on one of two cans in a 4-pack of Camp Beer Co., a special limited release label! (One animal per label.)
The other two labels will be awarded through a draw. Draw entries will be separated into two categories, Dogs and Cats/Other animal friends. This is to make sure there are a variety of animals on the final 4 pack. Each fundraiser will receive one entry into the draw for every $100 CAD raised. Winners will be randomly selected from these entries.
Langley Animal Protection Society will contact all four winners about their prizes and any bonus prizes Camp Beer Co. may award within 48 hours of the end of the contest.
The Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS), a registered non-profit charitable organization, is dedicated to supporting healthy human-animal connections through leadership, education, programs, and municipal services.
Through a variety of essential services LAPS aims to ensure that pets can stay with the people who love them.
LAPS provides a range of emergency shelter services to care for animals in need, as well as social programs designed to assist pet owners. These initiatives include food banking, spay/neuter services, access to urgent veterinary care and emergency boarding for people freeing interpersonal violence or faced with housing insecurity. By offering these crucial resources, LAPS seeks to alleviate the pressures faced by pet owners during challenging times and to prevent unnecessary separation of pets from their families.
