Green Bay, WI – The Bay Area Humane Society will hold its annual PetWalk on June 1st starting at 9:30 am. This year’s PetWalk is presented by Pioneer Credit Union. The PetWalk is a non-competitive 3-mile walk that starts and ends at the Shelter. This year’s goal is to raise $75,000.
Participants can register ahead of time online at PetWalkgb.com, where they’ll find a great list of incentives they can receive for meeting their fundraising goals. The rewards start at $75 and go through $2,500, with the $2,500 prize being 2 round trip flights from MetJet.
Over 700 pets and people take part in the walk that starts at 9:30 a.m. It’s not just for dogs – all sorts of well-behaved pets and people without pets are welcome. People can also participate without a pet.
Steve and Laura from Star 98 host the day for a fun morning with lots of family activities including:
Pet nail trimming
A Pet obstacle course
Plinko, rubber ducky game, clowns, face painting and more!
Because Bay Area Humane Society does not receive funding from government or national animal welfare organizations, PetWalk is a critical fundraiser that helps cover the costs of providing care, protection and placement for thousands of lost and abandoned animals in our area each year.
Thanks to our sponsors: Pioneer Credit Union, KI, The Green Bay Packers, M3 Insurance, Kolbe Accounting & Tax, MetJet, Rasmussen College STAR 98 Radio and WFRV TV Channel 5.
