Raise A Paw 2019 is presented by Northwest Community Bank

​The dog days of summer will be behind us, but Raise a Paw Against Leukemia will be the event of the fall for dogs and their people. iHeart Media will again be
running pre-event commercials and be at the event!

Location: Simsbury Meadows, 22 Iron Horse Blvd., Simsbury, CT
Date: Sunday, October 6, 2019; 10 AM - 2 PM
Cost: $5 (children 12 and under, free) to benefit families fighting leukemia and other blood cancers in Connecticut

Raise a Paw 2019 will include several exciting and fun features:
● Vendor Fair
● Music
● Dog Walk and Fun Agility Course for dogs and their owners
● Pet Pictures
● Pet Art
● Food Trucks
● And More!

Raise a Paw is not only a great event for people, their dogs, and businesses; it’s
also a fundraising event for The Rob Branham Foundation, a CT charity that
provides financial assistance to CT families fighting leukemia and other blood
cancers. Over the past decade, this critical support for families has helped them
pay their mortgage or rent, utility and insurance bills, and provide groceries for
their families as they deal with the daily stresses of a potentially fatal disease.
Help us ‘Raise a Paw’ against leukemia and other blood cancers - hope to see you and your dog there!

Thanks to all of our sponsors, vendors, advertisers, dogs, and people who came out to Raise a Paw Against Leukemia on Sunday, September 30!  

The weather was perfect, the pooches well behaved, and vendors’ products and services amazing!  Our hosts - Renee DiNino, Erika Arias, and Steve Parker - were a special highlight for us.  Whether you and your pooch ‘raised a paw’ on the dog challenge course, at the Pet Poses booth, by winning a drawing prize, or by visiting vendors, YOUR support helps The Rob Branham Foundation build awareness of the need to support CT families fighting blood cancers.  

Hope to see you, your pooch and your posse next year at 
Raise a Paw Against Leukemia on Sunday, October 6, 2019 at Simsbury Meadows!

Join us on Sunday, September 30th to celebrate National Blood Cancer Awareness month at Raise A Paw Against Leukemia at Simsbury Meadows from 10am to 2pm.

In addition to our Vendor Fair, Food Trucks and Pet Portraits we will be hosting a Dog Walk and Challenge Course to benefit families fighting blood cancer right here in Connecticut.  

The Dog Walk is a leisurely stroll around the perimeter of the Challenge Course, go at your own pace, go around as many times as you like! 

Don't tucker your pooch out on the walk before they have a chance to test their agility on our 10 obstacle Challenge Course!  Don't worry, it's just for fun and we will have volunteers on hand to show you the ropes and even snap a pic for you if you'd like!
Pre-Registration for the Dog Walk & Challenge Course is OPEN NOW
and just $15 per dog to participate!
