K9-5K Fundraiser

The K9-5K is a dog-friendly charity run that aims to raise funds and donated items for the Richmond Animal League, ultimately supporting animal welfare and adoptions. This event also seeks to raise awareness for the first no-kill animal shelter in the area, helping to support homeless pets and RVA community engagement.

I'm Leah Buckley, a senior in the Leadership Center at James River High School. Since one of my greatest joys is spending time with dogs, whether training them indoors or going through agility courses together, I immediately gravitated towards this idea during the brainstorming process. I hope this 2025 event will be a fun experience and leave a lasting impact on the Richmond community.
