Listen as Carrie Cihasky of PAWS Chicago tells us all about the 18th annual PAWS Chicago 5K on June 3rd and Team PAWS.
Since 1997, PAWS Chicago has reduced the number of homeless pets killed in the city of Chicago by an amazing 84%! You can save even more pets when you register to run or walk at the 18th annual PAWS Chicago 5K!
This dog-friendly event takes place on the beautiful lakefront of Montrose Harbor on Sunday, June 3rd. Registration starts at 7:30 AM, runners start at 9:00 AM, and walkers (and doggies) start at 9:15 AM.
Aside from knowing you'll be helping to save animals' lives, participants will also look forward to enjoying an event T-shirt, live entertainment, and can win prizes for fundraising! There will also be activities for kids and dogs, so everyone will have a great time at this family-friendly event!
The folks at PAWS Chicago even have fundraising tips for participants, making it easier than even to raise money for PAWS. Everyone who raises $100 receives a PAWS Chicago cinch sack! If you raise $250, you'll also get special access to the Hero Hangout which includes VIP food and drinks, more prizes, a treat bag, and... an interactive puppy play pen with adoptable PAWS pooches!
