Paws & Soles Saving Lives with Strides 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run- Benefiting the Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter

CALLING ALL EVENT SPONSORS

Paws and Soles Saving Lives with Strides Run/Walk 5K

Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (FOSRAS) is once again planning our annual Paws and Soles- Saving Lives with Strides Shelter 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run, to be held on October 20, 2024 at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater. Proceeds from this fundraiser make it possible for us to continue offering important services to homeless animals at Somerset Regional Animal Shelter, in Bridgewater. 

FOSRAS, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is a volunteer group designed to support the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter.  We work as a team with shelter staff to organize on and off-site adoption, fundraising events, volunteer opportunities, educational opportunities, and so much more! Since we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, you can claim sponsorship or donations on your tax return. 

We can only achieve our goals with the assistance of generous donations from members of our community. We are asking your business to support our Paws and Soles Shelter 5K Run/Walk event by committing to one of the sponsorships on the attached pages, or by donating a gift in kind, such as gift certificates, which we can use as runner prizes. This year we are excited to be offering new sponsorship levels with enhanced offering. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support in making this a successful event.

Sincerely,
Paws and Soles  5K Committee
