Craig View Veterinary Clinic have extended their Easter Egg drive until today following cracked plans and donation targets that fell short. Despite the disappointment, the team are doing everything it can to hatch hope for their charities with one last push.
Boksburg, South Africa (14 April 2025) — The Craig View Veterinary Clinic have been working overtime to hatch hope for their 2025 Easter Egg drive.
Their social media pages have posted non-stop, they’ve shared every update of a new donated box of marshmallow Easter Eggs, called on pilots, staged a heist featuring Cola the dog and even had Munchkin the very tortoise slow tortoise call in some favours.
Read: This is a team that worked very hard to fundraise for their charities.
But despite all their creativity, efforts and clever campaigns that rival those of big marketing houses, Sunday evening came by and the team had to face the facts once again that they were short many boxes—some 1864 boxes off their goal of 4000 at that.
Heads in hands, the team decided to give the Easter Egg drive (or rather, hunt at this point) one final push, extending the deadline for donations to today, 14 April.
“We cannot let our charities down,” the practice said.
As such, today marks the last day to support not only the charities they’ve made commitments to with a little Easter treat, but also the practice’s determination.
Good news has come already, thanks to SAINTS Animal Charity, who made a serious donation to boost the non-perishable food items part of the Easter Drive.
If another charity can come to the party, then we’re sure more South Africans can.
