CCHS Director of Fundraising and Communication Brian Papalia said, “We are so happy that everyone who came to the walk had a good time and really enjoyed our activity tents. Pups were creating paintings, having their portraits taken, and participating in the nose work demonstration. It was as fun for the dogs as it was for the folks that brought them!” Papalia said the energy around the walk was exhilarating, “We really feel like this is the next generation of the Walk 4 Paws and look forward to growing the walk even more in 2024.”
The Walk 4 Paws was made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Happy Hounds Hotel and Day Spa, The Media One Radio Group, Shults Auto Group, Supportive Divorce Solutions, WNY News Now, Fessenden Laumer and DeAngelo LLC. The photo tent was made possible with the help of Heather Johnston of Heather J Photography and Jett Papalia of Jett Creative. The Pup Painting tent was made possible through the generous contributions of CCHS Volunteers Jillian Jones and Kim Touhey.
