​ALL MONTH

Paws 4 Pride Virtual Walk-a-thon with your dog!

About

Paws4Pride is a virtual walk-a-thon fundraiser where participants can walk with their dogs to raise funds for the Dutchess County Pride Center during the month of June. Participants will win prizes for most funds raised in a single day, a week, or have a chance at the Grand Prize for participating during the month of June- their pup being the fundraiser mascot for 2024, complete with photo shoot courtesy of Tara Cirigliano Photography. Don't have a dog to walk? Sponsor a team! Or, better yet, volunteer at your local animal shelter to "borrow" a walking buddy to raise funds for the Center. It could be a win for all!

Prizes

• Most miles walked/funds raised in a single day in June: A $20 Chewy gift card, treats from Belle’s Barkery and a Pride Leash from Ruff Cuts Dog Boutique & Salon.
• Most miles walked in a single week in June: A $20 Chewy gift card, treats from Belle’s Barkery and winners choice of discounts on training from either Top Notch Dog Training, The K9Konnection Dog Training and Behavior Specialists, Pet Smart or a PetGoods gift basket.
• Grand Prize Winner for most participation over the month of June: A cake from Belle's Barkery, and a pup-tastic photoshoot with local photographer Tara Cirigliano. The Grand Prize pup will also be crowned Paws4Pride 2024 mascot!
