Sponsorship Opportunities

The Potter League for Animals is honored to present you with the opportunity to sponsor one of our most popular events of the year, Heart & Sole Walk for Animals, on October 16, 2022.

We’re excited to announce that the 33rd annual walk will be held at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI this year. This beloved, dog-friendly fundraising event attracts hundreds of people and pets to support animals in need. Participants enjoy a fun-filled dog walk, music, a sponsor and vendor marketplace, special activities for dogs and children, and a festive atmosphere celebrating the special bond between animals and humans.

The Heart & Sole Walk for Animals is a beloved tradition for our community. In addition to raising essential funds to support our lifesaving work, it’s an opportunity for animal lovers to join together in creating a more humane Rhode Island for people and pets alike.
