Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) announces its 12th Annual Walk ‘n Wag fundraising efforts have begun. Participants can 
register and raise life-saving funds as an individual, start a team, or join a corporate team by visiting HHSV.org/walk. This annual online fundraiser, benefits animals in need throughout Santa Clara County and beyond, culminates in a celebratory Walk and Run on Saturday, October 4t from 8am – 1pm at Hellyer County Park.
Along with two scenic walk routes, this year’s event features a NEW 5K timed race and 4-legged runners are encouraged to participate! A fun-filled day for the entire family, Walk ‘n Wag also includes a “Doggie Fun Zone” obstacle course, vendors, crafts for kids, a costume contest, food trucks and more!
Nearly 800 people and their furry friends attended last year’s event, and raised $230,000 with which HSSV was able to continue on its mission, “To save and enhance lives.” This year’s goal is $400,000, but with the help of sponsors, which you can read about here HSSV is hopeful for another successful year.
