Starting in 2026, you can sign up to be a fundraiser for PCFF! What this means is when you register as a Big Dog, you are committing to help raise us raise funds and awareness for KC PAWS and Midwest Transplant Network by campaigning to your own friends and family. Here are the basics:

• We ask those that sign up as Big Dogs for a fundraising commitment of $250. Your $70 registration fee will be waived.

• When you sign up, you will be given a unique link your sponsors can use to donate.

• You’re free to campaign as you wish, but we’ll set you up with some messaging and marketing materials to get you started.

Click the Fundraising link above to get started. If you have further questions, please contact us below.

We do love animals! However, we do not encourage bringing dogs as they can be unpredictable when meeting new friends. You can share your love with the adoptables of KC PAWS, who will be on site that day for pets and play.
