Organiser's description

Race For The Rescues is a unique, 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to eliminating animal suffering and euthanasia. Our mission is to unite animal welfare organizations to fight pet overpopulation and save as many animal lives as possible. By creating this fundraising platform we help animal non-profits raise much needed funds to continue their life-saving efforts. We develop and share leadership skills and tools with innovative ideas to help homeless animals and to make our world a kinder place.

Our largest annual fund-raising event, Race for The Rescues began seventeen years ago and has raised over 5 million dollars to help animals in need. These critical funds enable hard working local, non-profit animal welfare organizations to continue their life-saving work. The event traditionally includes a 5K & Virtual Race and promotes the adoption of homeless animals.

Our goal will be to save as many animals' lives as possible with the funds raised on Race Day. All benefitting race partners depend on tax-deductible donations to continue their important work.

We are so grateful everyone out there who cares about animals and hope to see you at the race!
