Grab your leashes and take a walk to help pets battling serious illnesses at the 10th Anniversary Paws 4 a Cure Celebration and Charity Walk.  The event will be taking place this Sunday, May 7, 2017 at 1:00 PM at Quannapowitt Parkway in Wakefield, Massachusetts, with the walk starting at approximately 2:15 along scenic Lake Quannapowitt.  Or lend a helping paw by organizing your own satellite charity walk for Paws 4 a Cure in your neighborhood.  Proceeds from the event will be distributed directly to veterinary hospitals to assist families throughout the United States who cannot afford urgently needed treatment for Paws Recipients.

Formed in 2008, the mission of Paws 4 a Cure is to provide financial assistance to qualified families who cannot afford veterinary care for their beloved dogs and cats who are fighting cancer, injured or ill.  Paws 4 a Cure does not discriminate against breed, age, weight or diagnosis.  This all volunteer organization does not receive any government funding, and relies on the support of individuals who care about animals.  Based in Massachusetts, thanks to generous donors Paws 4 a Cure is able to provide assistance to pets throughout the United States in need of veterinary care for injuries and illnesses.

Registration for Sunday’s fundraiser walk is $25 for event admission, or for $40 you will also receive a limited edition t-shirt featuring the names of beloved pets who crossed rainbow bridge.  Admission is $15 for children under 16.  There is a $5 registration discount for active military, veterans and first responders.  If you register on-line, your name will be instantly entered to win a Bark Box gift card!
