Walk for Farm Animals -- Oakland, CA
Join us at Frank Ogawa Plaza in front of Oakland City Hall (at Broadway & 4th Street) on Sat. Sept. 7 10 AM to walk on behalf of farm animals and to raise money for Farm Sanctuary. After our 2.5-mile walk, we will have awesome speakers and yummy refreshments.
To register and begin collecting pledges, please contact Colleen A. Patrick at colleen@justgive.org or (510) 594-8321. Registration fee is $10, all walkers receive T-Shirts, and prizes are awarded to those who raise the most pledges. Farm Sanctuary (www.farmsanctuary.org) is a national, non-profit animal protection organization. Each year they rescue, rehabilitate, and provide lifelong care for hundreds of animals rescued from factory farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses. In addition to operating the shelters, they work to gain legal protection for animals used in food production and to raise public awareness about factory farm cruelty and cruelty-free alternatives. The Walk for Farm Animals helps fund Farm Sanctuary’s rescue and protection campaigns. |
