The Pedaling Princesses were the top fundraising team at this year’s Guelph Inside Ride.
The community spirit of OVC students, faculty and staff was on display once again at three charity events that took place around Guelph over the weekend.
The sixth annual Guelph Inside Ride brought out 19 teams of six riders — including many from OVC — who raised $18,700 for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation which supports children and their families living with and beyond cancer.
The top team in the event was the Pedaling Princesses; top individual fundraisers were OVC 2014’s Lisa Scott and Michael Woodward.
Seventy runners, walkers and their pets braved the cold, blustery conditions to raise $9,040 for the OVC Pet Trust Fund at this year’s OTS Dog Jog, organized by the Omega Tau Sigma Professional Veterinary Fraternity. Top fundraisers were Jane Dawkins, Emily Mcintyre, and Terri Lowe. For more, see the Facebook photo gallery.
The OVC Community Outreach Club and the Guelph Animal Hospital hosted a charity dog wash on March 22. Over 30 dogs marked the first weekend of spring with a clean, shiny coat, and over $450 was raised to support the wellness clinic at the Kettle and Stony Point First Nation near Sarnia.
