PAWS for the Cause Walkathon

Please join us for a fun walk to support PAWS Montclair, or support someone who is walking. 

We'll be walking at Edgemont Memorial Park in Montclair, NJ on Saturday June 8 -- rain or shine.

If you want to participate and cannot join us on June 8, you can complete a walk on your own anywhere between June 1 and June 8. Simply sign up for the virtual option.

The basic walk is 1 mile, but please feel free to walk longer and/or to run for more of a challenge.

How it works: 

-Sign up for either the in-person or virtual walk.

-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.

Top fundraisers will win prizes. There also will be a chance to win prizes through random drawings. For participants in the park walk, water and snack will be provided. Come out for this fun time to raise much needed funds for PAWS.

You are welcome to bring your dog along for the walk. Edgemont Park requires dogs to be on leash and picked up after. Of course dogs also must be socialized to be among people and dogs.

PAWS Montclair is a 501(c)3 charity dedicated to the rescue and adoption of at-risk dogs and cats pulled from the streets, high-kill shelters, and other urgent situations. PAWS focuses on animals who may get overlooked elsewhere, perhaps because of age, looks, health, breed, or size, which in turn can take more work and time to ready these deserving rescues for their forever homes. Founded in 1977, PAWS has been serving northern NJ communities for 47 years.
