Get ready to make a difference on Saturday, August 22, 2026, when Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) hosts their 18th annual fundraiser in Sanford, NC—with both in-person and virtual options available! This no-kill shelter, which has been operating since 2004, relies entirely on community support like this event to care for hundreds of rescued dogs and cats each year (they found homes for over 350 animals in 2025 alone). Lace up for a scenic 5K or 10K run/walk/jog through historic Sanford and the Greenway, knowing that every dollar you raise goes directly toward helping vulnerable animals find their forever homes!
