London, Ontario — Don-Mor Automotive Group and Don-Mor CARSTAR have announced a commitment of up to $200,000 to help complete London, Ontario’s new Old Oak Animal Campus.
Don-Mor Automotive Group and Don-Mor CARSTAR have further announced that the first $100,000 will be offered as a matching gift to help encourage the community to join in completing the final funding requirements needed for the city’s new humane society facility, located at 1414 Dundas St.
The gift will be specifically recognized as the Don-Mor Auto Group and CARSTAR Community Engagement Centre in the new Old Oak Animal Campus.
According to a recent press release, the Don-Mor team first started to partner with Humane Society London and Middlesex over a decade ago, sponsoring adoptable animal ads in the newspaper and playing an active role in helping animals find new families.
The press release further noted that Humane Society London and Middlesex first launched its capital project in May of 2022 and last month, announced 97 percent funding completion with $500,000 remaining towards the total funding goal.
The anticipated timeline for the move to the new facility is set for November of this year.
“We care deeply about our community. Our city needs this new facility to help provide improved animal sheltering and programs in London and the region. We are very proud to play a role in the final stretch of the project,” said Don Morton, founder of Don-Mor Automotive Group.
