The annual holiday event raises funds to support local animal charities in Metro Vancouver.
OpenRoad Group’s loyalty and rewards program, Club OpenRoad, is bringing back its annual Pet Photos with Santa, partnering with the OpenRoad Foundation to spread festive cheer and raise funds for animal charities. Held on Saturday, November 30, 2024 and Sunday, December 1, 2024 this year, the whole community are invited to bring their furry friends to MINI Langley and OpenRoad Acura Richmond between 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. to capture special holiday memories. Funds raised will benefit The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary and Regional Animal Protection Society (RAPS).
OpenRoad Foundation is donating $5,000 to each of the charities, in addition to funds raised during the events. Since its inception five years ago, Club OpenRoad’s Pet Photos with Santa has raised more than $22,500 for animal non-profits in B.C. Both charities will be on-site to collect donations and speak with guests.
“We launched Pet Photos with Santa in 2019, and pet owners have truly embraced the event by bringing their beloved furry friends to our dealerships to take that special holiday portrait in a warm, welcoming, and safe space,” says Håkan Williams, Manager of Club OpenRoad. “It has definitely become a tradition for many of our OpenRoad Group customers. All pets are welcome – from cats, dogs, lizards, to porcupines and hamsters. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones at MINI Langley and OpenRoad Acura Richmond this year.”
Guests receive both a digital and printed copy of the photo with a donation of $25. Club OpenRoad Pet Photos with Santa Schedule
