PAWS for the Cause Walkathon
Please join us for a fun walk to support PAWS Montclair, or support someone who is walking.
Date: June 8 Place: Edgemont Memorial Park in Montclair, NJ — rain or shine.
If you want to participate and cannot join us on June 8, you can complete a walk on your own anywhere between June 1 and June 8. Simply sign up for the virtual option.
How it works:
- Sign up for either the in-person or virtual walk here.
- When you sign up, you’ll get a personal fundraising page, where you set a personal fundraising goal.
- From your personal fundraising page, you’ll also have the option to create a Facebook fundraiser, which will be seamlessly integrated, so it doesn’t matter whether someone clicks your link directly or donates through Facebook.
- Share your page with people in your network and ask them to sponsor you. They can donate easily by credit card right on your personal fundraising page or on Facebook.
Top fundraisers will win prizes. There also will be a chance to win prizes through random drawings.
You are welcome to bring your dog along for the walk. Edgemont Park requires dogs to be on leash and picked up after. Of course, dogs also must be socialized to be among people and dogs.
100% of funds raised will go towards vetting, medical, and boarding expenses associated with the dogs and cats PAWS rescues.

Yogi
This is a full Circle of Life love story. It’s about our dog Yogi, who we adopted as arescue from the wonderful Montclair, NJ PAWS sixteen years ago. This past Tuesday Dec. 6th, we made an excruciating same-day decision to put 16 year old Yogi down after learning that morning he had a life-ending health issue from which there was no return. It was a sad and heavy day, the kind that never gets easier. This story begins in 2006 when we were looking for a companion buddy to our two year old Jack Russell Terrier Lilah, and heard about a Jack Russell puppy at PAWS. The puppy sat there unclaimed for 3 months after being found in a local pharmacy parking lot. We adopted him, named him Yogi after Montclair’s beloved Yogi Berra, and so our love story begins. Yogi worshipped his new friend Lilah who became his sun…
