NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. -- PetChance.org, a national nonprofit located in Northborough, MA, is holding its first-ever major fundraiser. The 24 hour "spinathon" event called "Pedal For Paws" will run from 10am on Saturday January 31, 2015 through 10am on Sunday February 1, 2015 at the Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough, MA.
Up to 24 teams of 24 riders will be spinning on bikes for one hour per person in an effort to raise money for Pet Chance. Prizes, music and other fun will accompany the spinning, where riders are welcome to be as "competitive" or as "leisurely" as they wish.
Since its inception in 2012, PetChance.org has helped over 400 pet owners from 50 states/territories (including DC and Guam) raise over $120,000 for veterinary expenses when money is tight. Peter Alberti, CEO, says: "We're off to a great start, and now we have a lot more work to do. Millions of pets are
surrendered, abandoned or euthanized each year because they cannot get the care they need. Our Spinathon event will enable us to support far more pets than we can right now."
