Danny's Birthday Donation to JSPCA

Danny Melville turned 60 years young on September 29 and a little rain didn’t dampen his birthday bash or the generosity of his guests. Animal lover Melville had asked that donations be made to the Jamaica Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (JSPCA) in lieu of gifts. The JSPCA holds special place for Melville as the wonderful dogs that are now the Jamaica Dogsled Team and part of the Chukka Caribbean Adventures family were second chance dogs adopted from this important organization. With Muggzie looking on, Melville’s birthday gift totaling JA$270,000.00 (US$4,000.00) was donated to the JSPCA. A cheque was presented to Dr. Paul Turner (second from left) senior veterinarian and Mrs. Pam Lawson (second from right) general manager by Marc Melville (left), co-managing director of Chukka Caribbean Adventures, and Devon Anderson (right) the lead musher for the Jamaica Dogsled Team and operations manager for Chukka Caribbean Adventures. Melville, Chukka Caribbean Adventures and the Jamaica Dogsled Team will continue to support the educational efforts of the JSPCA with donation from the proceeds from the sale of team merchandise and dogsled tours.
