Marvin Memorial Walk for the Animals
The Marvin Memorial Walk for the Animals is the Rhode Island SPCA’s major annual fundraiser. The walk is held in memory of our shelter mascot, Marvin the black lab, who helped raise $250,000 for the RISPCA during his lifetime. On August 27, 2011, we will hold our 9th Annual Marvin Memorial Walk for the Animals at Goddard State Park in Warwick, Rhode Island. Last year, this community event was voted Best Pet Event by readers of The Animal Print Magazine, hosted over 300 people and their dogs from throughout the state, and raised $32,000 for the animals in our care.
Why Raise Money for the Rhode Island SPCA?
The money raised at the Walk goes directly toward helping our animals by providing food, shelter, veterinary care, and a chance for a new home. This community event is anticipated by pet lovers throughout the state. You won’t want to miss it! We invite you to get involved by collecting pledges for the walk, starting a fundraising team of walkers, and bringing your dogs for an excellent day in the park. It is all for a good cause and the animals thank you for your support!
