Join us for the March for the Animals!

The March for the Animals is a march through the F. R. Newman Arboretum at the Cornell Plantations to help raise awareness and money for our furry friends at the SPCA.

The event is a lot of fun and we hope to see you there - just check out these photos from previous years!

The March is also a "friend-raiser," and very much like a Relay for Life, an AIDS Ride, or the locally popular Women Swimmin,' it relies on the exponential power of participation.

15 people asking 15 friends for $15 (in honor of our 15 years of No-Kill) adds up very quickly. (We think it totals $3,375 but we're no math whizzes). Funds raised help with medical costs and care for our animals!

Individual participants or all members of a team should try to raise the individual minimum of $115.00 which includes your registration fee (or even $150 in honor of our achieving 15 years of No-Kill).

This year, of all years, we want to exceed our $100,000 goal as we celebrate 115 years of No-Kill for shelter pets in Tompkins County and beyond.
