MAKING A PAWSITIVE IMPACT:

September again found the team busy making pawsitive impacts across the many communities we serve.  We made visits to, or participated in, over forty events this past month including:

​

     Annual Peace from DV Walk – Hosted by Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania (DVSSP), bringing our community together to support survivors of domestic violence.

​

     Steven LoCascio Memorial Fund Heart to Heart 5K Run/Walk – Honoring a special legacy while bringing people together for a meaningful cause.

​

     Westmoreland County Walk to End Alzheimer’s – Held at Twin Lakes Park, uniting our community in support of individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Additionally, we made the rounds to several nursing homes and hospitals, along with re-starting our school visits.
