Get ready for an exciting community celebration supporting the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) as we honor 40 years of lifesaving work. On Sunday, May 17, 2026, animal lovers, runners, walkers, and their four-legged companions will gather at Memorial Park in Beacon, NY, to make a meaningful impact—with 100% of event proceeds directly supporting the rescue and care of animals in need.
