Posted 9 years ago on · Permalink
We have just received a most generous $20,000 donation from long-time Uxbridge residents and local philanthropists John and Pat McCutcheon in memory of their boxer, Roxy.
This generous gift is the largest single major donation we have received to date,and will help kick off our major donors campaign to raise a second million dollars that will be earmarked for internal needs like equipment and furniture.
In addition to being animal lovers — John and Pat are closely associated with the World Wildlife Fund — they have a lifelong interest in the outdoors and the environment, which led them to establish the John and Pat McCutcheon Foundation to provide support to environmental protection and social enterprise initiatives in Ontario. One of these initiatives is the ongoing work of the Uxbridge Town Trail Committee for which John has served as chair.
John is passionate about the trail system and he’s thrilled that the site for the future animal shelter backs on to the trail, which is a favourite place for dog owners to take the four-legged members of their family for a walk.
The New Animal Shelter is extremely grateful to John and Pat for their kindness and generosity.
