The Mental Health Foundation is holding its
4th Annual

Paws for a Cause
at the Empire State Plaza
April 9 and 10, 2010

The Mental Health Foundation, in partnership with Mohawk Hudson River Humane Society and The Animal Protective Foundation, is pleased to present, once again, the largest event about pets and for pets and their owners in the greater Capital Region of upstate New York. 

As partners, we are planning to present a number of informative and educational seminars, all free to the public, to be held in conjunction with the exhibits on the Concourse.

With the proceeds from last year’s event, the Foundation awarded two grants to local not for profits, the Troy Cohoes YWCA and Families Together in NYS.  Up to $5000 is available to individuals and not-for-profit organizations to support projects designed to address all aspects of the Foundation’s mission. 

We are encouraging attendees to bring an item of new, unopened, canned or dry pet food to the event.  At the conclusion of the event we will divide the food up and distribute it to the rescue groups who are participating Paws for a Cause at the Plaza. 

Don’t miss this fun and educational event!
