A tradition built by our community.
The pink shirts and bandanas make for wonderful photos. What gives those photos meaning is the community behind them.
For 13 years, Paws for a Cause has given the Dan’s Pet Care family a way to show up together for breast cancer causes. Our team wears pink, clients lend their support, and the dogs bring the personality. Some people donate. Others share the fundraiser or wear their support. Every year adds another chapter.
As shared in our current fundraiser, our community has raised more than $30,000 for breast cancer causes over the years. That is our history across campaigns, separate from this year’s total.
Looking back. Moving forward.
