With clearing weather and warmer temperatures, three dozen pets and nearly 60 walkers took part in this years’ Pet Walk at Legion Park on Sunday, May 20th. The walkers raised a record amount of over $4,600 to benefit the homeless animals at the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society. Top fundraiser, Damaris Rispoli turned in over $1,400 to claim first prize of a personal pet portrait by local artist Rachel DiAndrea (Pet Art Studios). Second place was earned by Mary Villani with her donation of $480 and third place went to Staci Strayer who turned in $377 for the cause. Other top donations came from Jess Yuhas and the team of Kelly Adamczyk and Kim Steele who tied at $300. CPHS officers, workers and volunteers say they were very pleased with the turnout and thank everyone who took part.
