Sponsorship Opportunities 2023

We are excited to announce that PAWS will host our 3^rd Annual Retriever Fever on Saturday, September 23, 2023.

Last year this event brought together roughly 600 people to answer the age-old question… which Retriever is the top dog? Labs or Goldens?!

Retriever Fever will begin at 11am and run until 2pm at the North End of Riverside Park, 2001 Monroe Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505 (the baseball field will be fenced off to contain dogs).

Once there, enjoy food from various food trucks purchase PAWS merchandise, photos of your dog by Tailwagger Dog Photography, caricature drawings, an agility course, vendors with games and prizes, a group photo, raffles, contests for best retriever, PAWS client testimonials, PAWS dog demonstrations and more!

Your gift will change lives. As a non-profit organization, PAWS relies on the generosity of donors like you to fulfill our mission of increasing independence for people with disabilities through custom-trained Assistance Dogs.

We are requesting sponsorships in any amount. This would be a wonderful addition to the event and would certainly enhance the dollars that are raised.

There are many levels to choose from, but you are welcome to contact us with your suggestions about how YOU want to engage with PAWS. Custom sponsorships are always available to help you measure success and achieve what you are hoping for in a partnership with PAWS.
