Two Seaway District High School students, both professed animal lovers, are stepping up to the plate, a plate stacked high with cupcakes to be exact, to help bring awareness to animals in need and raise much needed funding for the OSPCA. Sophia Currier, left, and Kendra Buter have gotten together to join the OSPCA on their National Cupcake Day and raise funds for the Cornwall Branch. For students at Seaway, it will be as simple as buying a cupcake(s) for $1 this coming Monday, February 23. Kendra, whose family includes two horses and their Golden Retriever “Daisy”, and Sophia, whose pets include the family dog Tuffy (who is a OSPCA Rescue) and three cats, say they have met with overwhelming support. “We are making cupcakes and have asked others to make some too,” says Kendra who has career plans to become a vet technician. “Originally we were hoping for 100 cupcakes, but now it is looking like more.” Sophia is delighted that Monday’s event will be attended by an OSPCA representative from the Cornwall Branch and there is the possibility the representative will attend with an animal available for adoption. “This is our effort to help out the animals,” says Sophia. “My mom actually found the National Cupcake Day event, and I think it is a great.” While the Seaway students are supporting the effort with every $1 cupcake purchased outside the cafeteria this Monday, February 23, the community can also donate to the OSPCA’s National Cupcake Day Fundraiser by going to the National Cupcake Day-Ontario SPCA website and donating to the Seaway Spartans team.
