The 2009 Run and Walk for the Animals was held on Saturday, September 26 at Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge, Michigan. Some candid photos of the event are available now here: 2009 Run & Walk Photo Album. If you were at the event and took some nice photos yourself that you'd like to share with us so we can add to this album, contact us at: smith.abs@comcast.net.
The event was a great day of fun, friends and food that raised lots of donations for our furry friends at CAHS! Congratulations to all the hardworking staff and volunteers who made the event a success again this year!
Due to our generous volunteers, Phase 1" of our Outdoor Dog Run Appeal Has begun. We finally have a cement slab that will eventually become the first set of our 8 new dog runs for our recovering "kennel cough" dogs. This will give them the fresh air and sunshine that they desperatley need. As soon as this week, we could possibly see fencing going up around our first 4 runs. This is soooo exciting!! I again want to thank all who donated to this appeal. Without you, we would still be striving to get the donations in. We are continuing to accept donations for "Phase 2" of our Outdoor Dog Runs. I will keep you all posted with pictures of the outdoor runs in progress. Thanks so much for all that you do for CAHS!
The Run & Walk for the Animals will be held on September 26th in Fitzgerald Park. This awesome event is a fundraiser for the CAHS, and we expect over 1,000 people and their dogs! We need a lot of volunteers to make this event run smoothly, can you help out? Set up begins at 7:30am and the event wraps up about 1:00pm. There are many things to help with: serving breakfast or lunch, directing runners on the trail, passing out water, clean up, etc. Please email Jamie at advancement@cahs-lansing.org if you can help!

The fundraising goal for the Run & Walk for the Animals is $75,000. If you would like to register for the walk you can do so online here: www.cahs5k.org. You can make your own walker webpage, and email your friends & family to donate to your cause. If you raise $50 you will receive a Walk t-shirt and bandanna. Dogs are welcome at the event- and every year we see nearly every breed of dog. Everyone at the event will receive free lunch, courtesy of a couple local restaurants. See you at Fitzgerald Park on September 26!
