If you can't make it please consider sponsoring a walker. Even for a few dollars. Farm Sanctuary is a national non-profit animal protection organization. Each year they rescue, rehabilitate and provide lifelong care for hundred of animals rescued from factory farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses. In addition to operating the shelter they work to gain legal protection for animals used in food production, raise public awareness about factory farm cruelty and cruelty-free alternatives. The Walk For Farm Animals helps fund Farm Sanctuary's rescue and protection campaigns.

       It was awesome! Great people & everyone was so full of good energy! 
    •  Another great event, perfect weather, beautiful city skyline, and a great cause! Lots of honks and waves and smiles. Loved seeing the dogs proudly walking for the pigs, chickens and cows. Thanks to everyone who donated and helped us raise the consciousness that eating our earthling friends is not cool. Special Thanks to Michele for organizing this all the way from California! :) 
    •  Thank you for organizing this! We had a great time & are sure that some people got the message : )

       FABULOUS!!!! 
    •  Perfect weather, great people, great cause. What more is there? 
    •  We got a lot of positive response from passers-by, which gives me hope that more people are thinking about animal welfare and perhaps going veg. Awareness is the key.....once people realize the benefits to all it will become easy for them to follw through. We always have to try to get the word out.. 
    •  a great cause with many very nice people
