Early registration has begun for the annual Paws for a Cause walk, raising money for SPCA branches in Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
Animal lovers can sign up and begin fundraising for the event, which will be hosted in Vancouver’s David Lam Park on Sept. 9 starting at 10 a.m. It will be one of six walks around the province.
Money raised will help the BC SPCA care for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals.
The organization says it conducted 9,334 cruelty investigations last year and helped nearly 49,000 animals across B.C.
The funds will also go towards the SPCA’s prevention and education programs.
“This is an amazing opportunity to help the province’s most vulnerable animals,” said Tess Repenning, the BC SPCA’s manager of community fundraising. “By participating and fundraising through Paws for a Cause, you are truly making a difference in the lives of animals in need.”
Registering early will not only allow for more time to fundraise, it will also save you money. If you use the code “EARLY” at spca.bc.ca/walk before July 15, you will save $5.
