1. Dear Ithaca residents, May 21, 2016
Mama’s Llamas Lovin’Animal Rights Agency would like to invite you to our Mama’s Llamas Lovin’
Benefit Dinner on April 23rd, 2017 to promote the animal shelters in Tompkins County and raise aware-
ness on therapeutic animals.
We will be partnering with Ithaca College’s Active Minds, an on-campus chapter of the national Active
Minds organization, and Tompkins County SPCA. All the proceeds from the event will go towards hiring a
full-time staff member for the Ithaca College CAPS office. The first wave of 100 tickets will be sold start-
ing March 1st at the Campus Center lobby. The $10 ticket will cover admission to the event and food
served; the dinner will be provided by local Ithaca restaurants and snack bars.
Doors will open at 5:30pm, and tickets will be available for purchase in Campus Center lobby starting
March 1st. Ithaca College and Cornell University students and Ithaca residents are invited to the benefit
dinner! We encourage you to purchase your tickets as soon as details are released because seats are limited!
In addition to the benefit dinner, various events will be held on Ithaca College’s campus throughout the year.
The Fall kickoff event “Pet A Puppy” will be held where the Ithaca College students can play with adorable
and adoptable puppies to learn about how animals can be used as an outlet for therapy to help relieve stress.
These animals will be from the local animal shelter, Tompkins County SPCA, so if you fall in love with one
of the puppies, you will be able to adopt a lifelong friend!
Active Minds is a club that focuses on raising awareness on mental health issues among college campuses,
and CAPS is the counseling and psychological service on campus where students can go and get the help
they need to stay healthy. Over the years many students at Ithaca College have used CAPS as a way to help
them through counseling. Due to the limited amount of CAPS staff, the wait-time to see a therapist has
reached to an average of three to four weeks. Mama’s Llamas Lovin’Animal Rights Agency Active Mind’s
wants to help Active Minds raise enough funds to hire an additional counselor and to raise awareness on the
Tompkins County SPCA.
