Friends of JAS at Paws 4 A Cause
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Paws 4 A Cause on May 3 at Heritage Park in Olympia! Friends of JAS was proud to be part of this meaningful event, with a booth full of friendly faces and members walking alongside their pups. The day was filled with wagging tails, sunshine, and a shared commitment to fighting cancer in both people and pets. It was a joy to connect with our community and spread the word about our mission.
We’re so grateful for your support—and we look forward to seeing you at the next event.
