NMB PRIDE 67 MINUTES FOR MANDELA DAY 2026
🐾 67 Minutes for Mandela Day – Furry Day at Save-A-Pet 🐾
This 18 July 2026, NMB Pride will once again be spending our 67 Minutes for Mandela Day giving back to some of the most vulnerable members of our community – the furry residents of Save-A-Pet. Every year, this initiative reminds us that compassion knows no boundaries.
We are calling on our community, supporters, and friends to help us make a difference by donating food, treats, blankets, toys, or any items that can help care for the animals waiting for their forever homes.
Donations are urgently needed to help feed our furry babies.
A wishlist is available on request, but any pet food or animal care donations will be greatly appreciated. Together, we can turn 67 minutes into a lasting impact and show the spirit of Mandela Day through kindness, care, and community. ❤️ Let's make a difference together!
