Join us again for another fun year as we participate in FCFP’s popular 30-hour online fundraising event!
The event was created by The First Community Foundation Partnership (FCFP) of Williamsport to help the communities of Columbia, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder, and Union counties support their local nonprofit organizations’ fundraising efforts. Each online gift is strrretched by a generous contribution from Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships. Donors can also help raise additional support for the shelter by competing to win us stretch grants and monetary prizes (such as the largest number of gifts given at the dinner hour between 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.) All gifts are tax-deductible. It is a fun event that we all look forward to every year!
*The prize we are “going for” this year is the: Subaru’s Rise & Shine Prize – the nonprofit with the most unique donors between 6:00 am and 8:00 am on March 15th (Large category nonprofit will receive $1,000. Small category nonprofit will receive $1,000).
The event starts online at 6:00 pm on March 14th and runs until midnight on Thursday, March 15th. During this time, online gifts can be given to the Lycoming County SPCA at raisetheregion.org.
By supporting the Lycoming County SPCA, you are helping our region’s only open admission shelter, who also has the authority to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty cases. THANK YOU, for all you do to care for homeless, abandoned and mistreated animals. We could not do it without YOU.
Thank You!

Paws Run 2018
2018-04-14 09:00 - 12:00 | South Williamsport Community Park, 545 East Central Avenue, South Williamsport, PA, 17702, United States
Our popular annual run/walk is family AND pet-friendly. We have walking and running divisions for people only or people participating with their pets!
The unique 2.5-mile run/walk and 5-mile run benefit the Lycoming County SPCA and caters to runners, walkers, and pet/human teams alike. All participants utilize the same course, which loops through the South Williamsport Community Park and Little League International’s baseball stadiums. Both the 2.5 and 5-mile run contain a short but steep climb up and around Little League International’s Headquarters and back down for an unforgettable view that makes the climb all worthwhile. And what would a dog-friendly event be without a division for dogs participating with their humans? The course offers water stations for humans and dogs and dog waste disposal receptacles along the course.
Thank you to our title sponsors Deb Schneider Wells Fargo Advisors and Wolf Run Veterinary Clinic, and our media sponsor iHeartMEDIA!
