The annual RSPCA Million Paws Walk, dedicated to fighting animal cruelty, is back in Mackay! On Sunday, May 26th, from 8:00 am to 10:30 am, join the community at Queens Park for a day of fun and fundraising. Celebrating its 30th year, the Million Paws Walk started in Queensland and has since become a beloved event nationwide.
Everyone is welcome to participate, so bring the whole family for a fantastic day out. Don't worry if you don't have a furry friend – all are invited to enjoy the festivities. Bring a camp chair or picnic rug to relax and watch the dog competitions, with fantastic prizes up for grabs!
Get your VIP (Very Important Pooch) ready for a red carpet photo opportunity at the event. Additionally, throughout May, the local shelter team will sell raffle tickets at various locations, including Caneland Shopping Centre, Mt Pleasant Shopping Centre, and Bunnings. At just $3 per ticket, you could win one of six incredible prizes, kindly donated by local businesses: $400 2-Night Family Holiday – Camp Kanga; $275 Pet Photography Session – Coffee & Hops; $250 Joy Flight – Mackay Tiger Moth Museum; $200 Fuel Voucher – SGC Global; $185 Beginner Scuba Diving – Rainforest Scuba; Two $50 Vouchers – Body Haven Mackay.
Proceeds from the event will support animals in need, just like Loki, who found himself in RSPCA's care in November 2022. After receiving medical attention for various health issues, Loki was placed in foster care with Michelle, a dedicated volunteer at RSPCA Mackay Animal Care Centre. Michelle grew very fond of Loki and officially adopted him in April 2023, giving him a chance at a loving forever home.
Join us in celebrating 30 years of Million Paws Walk and make a difference in the lives of animals like Loki. Don't miss this opportunity to support a great cause. Tickets are available at millionpawswalk.com.au. Join the cause with a Million Paws to fight animal cruelty and ensure a brighter future for our furry friends.
