The 27th Annual Paws for the Cause Dog Walk will take place at Fox Chase Cancer Center on Sunday, Sept. 20, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Reimann parking lot.
The event features a 1-mile walk around the Fox Chase campus as well as food, music, children’s activities, contests and prizes, raffles and more. A variety of vendors and animal rescue organizations will also be on hand. This year’s patient ambassador is Jenna Meyer, who survived Hodgkin lymphoma after being diagnosed at 28, while Christopher Cann, MD, Director of the Young Adult Cancer Program, serves as physician ambassador. In addition, Lori Giampaolo returns as event chair and Dawn Timmeney of Fox 29 will again serve as emcee.
Since its first year, Paws for the Cause has raised more than $1.1 million for cancer research at Fox Chase. The event is organized by the Board of Associates with generous support from title sponsor West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.
Participants can go to the Paws for the Cause webpage to register, fundraise and make donations. For more information, see the event flyer ••
