4th Annual Paws 4 A Cause

Olympia, WA

Join Us at Paws 4 A Cause!

We’re excited to announce that Friends of JAS will be at this year’s Paws 4 A Cause event on Saturday, May 3, at Heritage Park in Olympia! This fun-filled day supports the fight to eliminate cancer in both people and pets, and it’s sure to be full of wagging tails, big smiles, and community spirit. We’d love to see as many Friends of JAS members as possible—bring your pup and join us for a great cause! Some of our amazing members (and their dogs) will also be walking in the event.

For more details or to register, visit Paws 4 A Cause.
