On May 15, 2021, BluePath Service Dogs will hold its fifth annual walkathon to raise funds to provide service dogs to children with autism. BluePath’s dogs are trained to help children and their caregivers by preventing wandering and providing safety, companionship and opportunities for independence.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at FDR State Park, in Yorktown Heights, with the walk beginning promptly at 10:30 a.m.

This family-friendly fundraiser is for all ages, and friendly dogs are also welcome. Participants can choose between a 1.7-mile or 3-mile loop. The walkathon will adhere to all local and state guidelines, shifting to a virtual format if needed. 

Location: FDR State Park, Lot 4, 2957 Crompond Rd., Yorktown Heights, NY. For info and registration, call 845.377.0477, email [email protected] or visit BluePathServiceDogs.org.
