Programs
BELLEVUE, Wash., July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fundraising is underway for the
Pet Partners World's Largest Pet Walk, presented by Wellness Pet
Company. On September 28, therapy
animal supporters around the world will lace up their walking
shoes, grab their leashes and pet strollers, and walk in support of
the Pet Partners Therapy Animal Program, which benefits millions of
people with the love and comfort of therapy animal visits in
schools, senior centers, libraries, hospitals, and many other
places.
Support Pet Partners' Therapy Animal
Program by joining the World's Largest Pet Walk fundraiser
Now in its seventh consecutive year, the 2024 World's Largest
Pet Walk encourages participants and their pets to walk at any time
and in any location on Saturday, September
28, or on the date and time of their choosing. The event is
different from many fundraising walks in that everyone can
participate and fundraise in the way that works best for them,
whether it's a solo hike, neighborhood gathering, or a workplace
employee engagement activity. People can even walk with or without
a pet!
"The World's Largest Pet Walk is a heartwarming event that
celebrates the special bond between people and their pets, and we
are grateful for our walkers and supporters," says C. Annie Peters, president & CEO of Pet
Partners. "This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves their
pet to get out and walk and at the same time raise vital funds to
support the therapy animals that make meaningful visits to people
in need throughout the year."
There is no registration fee to join the World's Largest Pet
Walk, but Pet Partners encourages walkers and supporters to
fundraise. Participants who raise certain amounts by August 16 can get a commemorative Walk bandanna
or t-shirt in time to wear on September
28. Other special incentives are offered for various
levels throughout the fundraising period.
The vital funds raised through the Walk allows Pet Partners to
continue their mission of improving human health and well-being
through the human-animal bond. Visit
petpartners.org/worldslargestpetwalk to learn more, to
register as a walker, or to make a donation in support of
individual walkers or walk teams. Pet Partners encourages everyone
to share information about the walk on social media using the
hashtag #WorldsLargestPetWalk.
