17th Annual Run For Their Lives!

Run for Their Lives! has become one of CARA's biggest fundraisers to keep our shelter in operation. Please consider signing up and RUN our beautiful (maybeeeee a few hills!) course through Historic Sanford and our Greenway on Saturday August 23th, or run VIRTUALLY on your own time/schedule (course maps on this site) or even find your own 5k/10k course! Or if you would just like a super cool 17th Anniversary Run T-shirt , choose to "SLEEP FOR THEIR LIVES!" (T-Shirts will be mailed to both Virtual and Sleep Options ).

Whichever option you choose, you will know that  you are helping to provide better lives for the many unwanted animals here in Central NC.
