If we’re being honest, getting locked up with a dog or cat sounds like a great way to spend the day.

On Thursday, a number of local personalities will be doing just that as part of the SPCA’s annual ‘Lock in for Love’ event.

BMack and Karly from Sun FM, Klaudia Van Emmerik from Global, Brigette Stapleton from FH&P Lawyers and Sean Hogan from the Kelowna SPCA will all be locked up.

“Lock-In for Love is a fundraiser that’s also fun – we ‘jail’ fundraisers whose job it is to raise enough ‘bail’ to get them freed,” says Tess Repenning, BC SPCA manager, peer-to-peer and community fundraising.

“Last year, several thousands of dollars were raised in a matter of hours, all for abused, neglected, homeless, injured and sick animals in the province, thanks to some superstar participants!”

BMack and Karly will kick the day off by doing their morning show live from the kennels at 7 a.m. before all the participants are locked up at 10:30 a.m.

This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 to provide medical care, food and shelter to homeless animals at the Kelowna SPCA.
