The Animal Welfare Association’s (AWA), Annual Paws and
Feet Run 5K Race and Doggie Fun Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2015 at
Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, NJ. AWA
counts on the money raised from the event to provide shelter and medical care
to over 2000 homeless dogs and cats AWA adopts out each year. Last year, animal
lovers and members of the community help raise over $100,000 for the animals.
This year’s theme is “Superheros.” and our fundraising
goal is set for $110K”, shares Maria Clarke, AWA’s Director of Events, Business
and Community Relations. “Thousands of people participated in the run and walk
in 2014, but Paws and Feet is more than just a race and walk”, says Clarke.
“It’s a celebration of the human animal bond.” We believe that ordinary people
do extraordinary things for pets, we see
this everyday in our work and through our interactions with people.” We want to encourage folks to unleash their
inner superhero and help us raise the funds necessary for us to be able to help
more people and pets in 2015.
