100% of your donation directly supports KC PAWS, a local canine rescue and sanctuary, and Midwest Transplant Network. 90% is given to KC PAWS, which is immediately put to work helping KC PAWS with expenses including veterinary costs for spay, neuter, and bigger medical expenses that come with dogs rescued from neglect and abuse. As you know, Paul was an organ donor hero. We contribute 10% of funds raised to support the life saving work of Midwest Transplant Network.

We do love animals! However, we do not encourage bringing your dog as the heat can be hard on them. Also, dogs 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.

A 5K is a 3.2 mile route set up to walk or run at your own pace. We know everyone has different fitness goals and we want you to do your personal best. With that in mind, we are setting up an alternate 1 mile loop. In addition, The Foundation has treadmills indoors for those who want a more finely tuned pace.

Yes! We will have water and Gatorade on-site for all events and throughout the 5K and 1-mile routes. These routes are staffed with volunteers ready and waiting with cold water and Gatorade. Water, Gatorade, and ice are sponsored by Cosentino’s Brookside Market.
