Founder's Day

Craig Street Cats' Founder's Day event takes place on the weekend closest to July 20th, each year, and celebrates the birthday of our Founder, Lynne Scott.  Lynne started Craig Street Cats in her home, in 2007.

Founder's Day 2021 is a special event, because it marks Lynne's 65th birthday.  Because of this we're having a special celebration!  July 17th & 18th we'll have the bbq going from 2 to 4 pm both days.  The menu will include hot dogs, veggie dogs, fruits and veggies, salads, soft drinks, cake and ice cream.  A donation of $10 wins access to the full menu.

Those wishing to leave a permanent commemoration have several options available to them.
  • Sign the giant birthday card banner (donation)
  • Decorator Tile:  These ceramic tiles are 4" square, and may be painted or decorated as you wish.  Once returned, they will be mounted in the adoption centre. ($100)
  • Brushed Steel Name Plate:  4" x 2" (approx), imprinted with donor's name and/or message (up to 10 words).  These will be mounted in the cat care area of the adoption centre.  ($1000)
  • Brushed Steel Plaque:  4" x 6" (approx), imprinted with donor's name and/or message.  You may include a simple image, such as a logo or other line drawing (black and white only). These will be mounted in the cat care area of the adoption centre.  ($2500)
Tiles, name plates, and plaques will be available for purchase until August 31st.  Tiles will be mounted as they are returned.  Name plates and plaques will be mounted in time for our Feral Cat Day celebration, in October.  Links in item descriptions lead to our secure Square checkout.  All items may also be ordered by phone, at 204 421-1919, or at the event.

All proceeds of this event will help fund our ongoing programs for Winnipeg's community cats.
