PAWS for the Cause Walkathon (2025)

Registration now is open for the PAWS for the Cause Walkathon, one of our key fundraisers that helps support our work. Please consider registering to walk. Enjoy fun, fitness, and helping our cause.

We’ll be walking on Saturday June 7–or anytime around that date that is convenient for you. You may complete the walk anywhere you choose, though registrants also will be invited to walk together in the Montclair area on June 7 as an option.

How it works:

  • When you sign up, you’ll get a personal fundraising page, which you can customize. You’ll set a personal fundraising goal. We recommend a minimum goal of $200, but please don’t hesitate to aim higher! You’ll be surprised how many people will want to support a good cause, especially one that matters to you. Of course feel free to set whatever fundraising goal is appropriate for you.
  • From your personal fundraising page, you’ll also have the option to create a Facebook fundraiser, which will be seamlessly integrated, so it doesn’t matter whether someone clicks your link directly or donates through Facebook.
  • Please share your page with people in your network: family, friends, colleagues and others, and ask them to sponsor you. They can donate easily by credit card right on your personal fundraising page, or on Facebook.

100% of funds raised will go towards vetting, medical, and boarding expenses
associated with the dogs and cats PAWS rescues.

Please contact us if you are interested in being an organizational sponsor of this event,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
