Surge and the The LandTrust for Central North Carolina plan a Paws in the Park community event to raise funds for a no-kill animal sanctuary in Rowan County.

The entry fee for adults is $15 and includes a T-shirt. Children’s T-shirts are $5.
Money raised will also help support public outreach and conservation education initiatives of the LandTrust (including classroom presentations and wildlife education hikes) and the Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary, a new animal rescue group formed to promote a no-kill animal shelter.Sponsorship opportunities for the event are available. Currently, Miller Davis is an event sponsor.
