Fundraiser to be held for Fix-a-Friend as clinic continues to rebuild

WINNABOW, NC (WWAY) — Several months after being damaged by Potential Tropical Cyclone 8, a fundraiser will be held Friday evening to help Fix a Friend Spay and Neuter Clinic in Winnabow.

Fix a Friend took some serious damage during the storm, with 3 feet of water flooding their building on Highway 17.

Since then, several fundraisers have been held by other organizations and businesses to help the clinic rebuild its building and replace the equipment it lost.

Friday’s fundraiser is being held at Beach Haven Designs, a home goods store located in Southport.

Fix a Friend assistant manager Rebecca Leonard said the community’s support means a lot to her and the clinic.

“It’s just nice to know that even after months after going through this, people are still out there trying to find ways to help us and support us and get us back open as soon as possible,” Leonard said.

The fundraiser will start at 6 pm and the donations from this and other fundraisers will be used to help raise the clinic by 6 feet so it doesn’t flood again and renovate the inside of the building.
