🐾 Event Overview
Peace Ridge is hosting their 4th Annual 5k Run for the Animals & 1 Mile Fun Walk on Saturday, October 4, 2025, also known as World Animal Day!! On this special day we will aim to raise awareness about animal welfare and promote the protection of all animals—whether they are pets, wildlife, or farm animals.
This family friendly event will be held at PRS’s Northeast Equine Sanctuary located at the edge of Freedom and Albion Maine. The purpose of this event is to aid and support lifesaving work PRS performs daily.
💰 Fundraising Purpose
This is one of the few fundraising events PRS holds each year. The funds raised are crucial for:
- Food: Providing food for our rescued animals.
- Care: Offering daily care and shelter to those in need.
- Medical Treatment: Delivering medical treatment when required.
- Rescue Efforts: Rescuing more animals that are in need.
Many of our animals have come from severe cases of cruelty, teaching us about resilience and forgiveness. We deeply appreciate your support and any additional fundraising efforts you choose to do.
