Thank You MOVERS!
Thank you to everyone that participated in the 2023 MOVE for PADS!
You can still donate to PADS and help us place more life-changing dogs.
There are so many reasons to MOVE!
WHAT IS MOVE?
It’s a fun way to get active – with a purpose!
You can MOVE any way you wish, but you simply:
1. Create an easy to set up fundraising page (as an individual or a team)
2. Set a goal
3. Share it with your friends and family to raise donations for PADS.
The more they donate, the more you MOVE. The more you MOVE the more lives are changed!
