Humane Pennsylvania relies entirely on donations and services fees from the community.

We try to make giving easy and fun by having awesome special fundraising events in local communities. We understand you want to support the work we do for the animals in care, but we also know that no one likes going to a boring event!

Below you will find our upcoming event list, and some of them are even pet-friendly! All of these events offer the chance to do good and have some fun all at the same time.

46th Annual Walk for the Animals

Humane Pennsylvania’s Walk for the Animals is the oldest and largest animal welfare event in the region, that attracts thousands of participants annually and is supported by animal lovers and their friends across the nation. For over 45 years, Walkers have been helping raise funds and awareness to improve the lives of animals and the people who love them – and having lots of fun doing it!

The 46th Annual Walk for the Animals Presented by Performance Toyota will take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023 from 10 AM until 2 PM at Jim Dietrich Park, located at 4899 Stoudts Ferry Bridge Rd, Reading, PA 19605.

Join us as an adult walker, a VIP walker, or start a Pack with your friends and family! Whether you are walking virtually, attending in person, or simply raising funds from the comfort of your own home, your participation saves lives and gives second chances to the community’s most vulnerable animals.
