Heart and Sole Walk for Animals in Glen Park Planned

The Potter League for Animals will hold its 25th annual Heart & Sole Walk for the Animals on Sunday, June 1 at Glen Park in Portsmouth.

The Heart & Sole Walk is a huge event for animal lovers.  Since 1989, the Heart & Sole Walk for Animals has raised over $500,000 to support the care of homeless animals in Newport County.  The Walk has saved the lives of more than 50,000 animals over the years.  This year’s fundraising goal is $125,000.  All monies raised benefit the animals at the shelter and in the surrounding community. 

Walkers can walk with or without their dogs, walk in honor or memory of their cats or other favorite pet, and form a team with friends and family members.  Employees of businesses can join together on a team or host a fundraising event in support of the Walk.  Walkers are encouraged to collect donations.  Those who raise $25 will receive a free lunch and 25th anniversary Walk T- Shirt.  Great prizes are awarded to top fundraisers.

There are many ways to be involved and make a difference.  For more information and to register on-line and create a personalized fundraising page visit www.PotterLeague.org   To receive a brochure by mail, call Susan at 401-846-0592 ext 125 or visit the shelter at 87 Oliphant Lane in Middletown.
