THE Inaugural PAWS IN FOR
VETERANS DOG WALK
The Sports and Entertainment Marketing class at Mars Area
High School (MHS) in cooperation with the Western Pennsylvania
Humane Society (WPHS) is organizing and hosting The Paws in
for Vets Dog Walk on March 30, 2014, at the Treesdale Commons
Community Center at 8:30 a.m. The event will raise funds for the
WPHS Veterans Program. The program works to pair war veterans
with shelter animals and provides financial aid to help facilitate
the program.
Sponsors will be present at the walk with booths and
information for the participants and attendees. The goal set by the
students is to have 200 dogs participate and raise over $5,000.
Anyone wishing to donate to the cause or register for the walk
can visit www.PawsInForVets.org. When clicking the online
registration option, visitors will be able to join a fundraising team.
Each team will compete to raise as much money as possible for the
WPHS Veterans Program and the winning team will receive a prize
at the event.
Adam Natale of the SEM class adds, “I think we have a lot of
motivated students in our class who are willing to do what it takes
to make this event a success.”
Everyone is welcome to participate and be a part of this
worthwhile event which benefits the WPHS in helping provide
shelter for homeless animals and our veterans, who have served our
country so admirably. ■
