Final Event Update
May 20, 2008
We raised over $52,000!
The rain dance must have worked because it held off for our Second Annual Paws for a Cause Dog Walk & Festival, held at Riverview Farm Park in Newport News on Sunday, May 18, 2008.
Over $52,000 was raised to benefit the 10,000 animals that come through the Peninsula SPCA each year.
Hundreds of animal lovers and supporters came out throughout the day to take part in the festivities including on-going demonstrations by Sit Means Sit and Coastal Dog Training, Avenue of Heroes local rescue groups and browsed pet related exhibitors. The nearly 500 registered walkers and their canine companions also enjoyed activities such as the Police K-9 and Fire Bomb Dog demonstrations, Busch Gardens "Get Wild!" exotic animal presentation, the Peninsula SPCA's Puppy Parade of adoptable pets, and contests which included a Kissing (Licking) Contest and Best Costume contest.
