Join HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response for Four Paws, One Cause 5K, a virtual fundraiser benefiting HOPE's mission to provide comfort and encouragement to individuals facing crises and disasters.

Registration and sponsorships are available through Givebutter. HOPE's fundraising toolkit includes event information, logistics, FAQs, team setup instructions, sponsorship resources, and social media materials.
