West Palm Beach, FL– (March 1, 2019) Over 1,800 people and their adorable pets gathered for Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s 18th Annual Barry Crown Walk for the Animals on February 23, 2019 at the Meyer Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. All of those that participated raised money to help save the lives of injured, homeless and abandoned animals that are or will be in the care of the League.
Peggy Adams’ 2019 Walk Mascot, Chloe, is a former shelter dog herself. Chloe along with Rich Anderson, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League’s Executive Director/CEO led the walkers and their pets on the scenic one-mile walk along the West Palm Beach Waterfront on Flagler Drive. Anderson drove the pace car sponsored by Nozzle Nolen. While participants enjoyed a perfect South Florida day with live entertainment, local vendors and a complimentary breakfast provided by Lynora’s. There were also chances to win amazing silent auction items and raffle prizes. Jennifer Ross from SUNNY 107.9 FM and WFTL 850 AM once again graciously hosted the days’ festivities including a pet costume contest with fabulous prize baskets.
