We will transfer your registration to the new event on May 9, 2026 and look forward to having you join us. Thanks for your patience!

I understand that this 5K was a fundraiser to raise funds for essential safety equipment for Police K9s. I support your cause and mission and would like my registration fee to be switched to a tax-deductible donation.  I understand that the PLEA Foundation will email or mail me a donation receipt for my tax purposes, and to contact my tax preparer for more information.

We deeply appreciate your generosity and look forward to seeing you at an event soon.

You can choose between:

A. An exclusive 10th Anniversary I Support the K9s T-shirt mailed to you

OR 

B. Upgrade to an exclusive 10th Anniversary Hoodie for PICK-UP ONLY in our Rochester Office on Monday-Friday 9:30am-4pm. 

Please email us at foundation@plea.net your selection and size. If you select Option B, we will contact you once your item is ready for pick-up.

We understand. We hope you can join us next time.
