Welcome to my fundraising page for Paws in the Park 2025! This year is incredibly special for me – it marks my 18th year at the SPCA Serving Erie County, and I am bound and determined to finally walk the walk on event day!

I'm asking for your help to support a cause that is deeply close to my heart.

Paws in the Park helps the SPCA provide crucial care, shelter, and services to thousands of animals in need right here in Western New York. Every dollar raised goes directly towards helping animals (and the people who love them!), whether it's through medical treatment, finding loving homes, or investigating cruelty.

Our work caring for animals has been especially demanding this year. We've taken in animals from three large hoarding situations, with veterinary care for these cases alone totaling around $60,000. And it hits home personally: my own foster kittens faced a tough fight with panleukopenia, requiring extensive and costly medical treatment to help them recover. Your support helps us continue to say "yes" to saving lives!

This vital work wouldn't be possible without the incredible compassion and support of people like you! Thank you so much for your compassion and support!
