Animal lovers in the Sunshine Coast area are urged to slide into their favourite pair of walking shoes and get moving to help a furry friend.
Registration is open for the annual Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk held each fall to raise funds for homeless and abused animals in B.C.
The fundraising event will be held at the Sunshine Coast SPCA on Sunday, Sept. 11. Registration starts at 11 a.m. at the branch on Solar Road with the walk starting at noon. Activities will include a barbecue, games, Paw merchandise and more! For more information visit spca.bc.ca/branches/ sunshine-coast/.
"This is the largest single event supporting animals in B.C.," said Denise Meade, the society's director of development. "Participants are already signing up and will be fundraising in their own communities all summer long. The creativity and passion that people show each year is remarkable.
"People in every region of the province - the Lower Mainland, Coast, Island, Interior, Kootenays and Northern B.C. - gather together each September to go on walkathons and hold many interesting all-ages events and activities to raise money to help animals in their community."
