Description

San Diego Humane Society has announced that its 27th annual Walk for Animals, traditionally held at Kit Carson Park in Escondido and Liberty Station in San Diego, will be combined into a single virtual event this year. Registration is free and will unlock custom Walk for Animals resources to help participants fundraise to support San Diego Humane Society's life-changing work for animals and the people who love them. Registrants are then invited to participate in a fun-filled virtual Walk Week (April 11-17) to celebrate their fundraising success and access engaging online content —including behind-the-scenes tours, social media surprises, pancake making and more.

In addition to fundraising and engaging with online content, participants are invited to walk in their own way (with safety and social distancing in mind) — around the block, around the living room, in the backyard, on a patio or even on the treadmill. "Even though we won't be together in person this year, we still join together as a community to make a difference for animals who rely on us for shelter, medical care, new homes and more," said Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. "When our community faces challenges, keeping animals safe and sound becomes even more important and we'll be standing together to save those lives."
