As the co-emcee and as a Board Member for the Potter League, I’m personally hoping to raise $1,000 for the walk. Will you support my efforts to raise money to help the animals at the Potter League? Donate Here. Your donation of any amount will help provide food, medical care and a second chance for thousands of homeless animals this year.
I hope to see many of you (and your dogs) at the walk! For more details on the walk, click here.
