Proceeds from the Fitzgerald’s Shamrock Sprint will go to Hands and Paws for Pasco, a non-profit organization that rescues animals from kill shelters in Florida. They provide emergency/specialty medical treatment for these animals. The services provided assist in rehabilitating animals so they may be adopted to loving, forever homes. They believe that all animals deserve a chance, and if they are able, they give them that chance.
