Walk n Roll for Animals 5k Alaska

03/18/2021

Hello Everyone,
For all of you that have supported the Walk n Roll for Animals for the past 5 years it is with a heavy heart we must say “Goodbye” to this event.
As life’s twists and turns and ups and downs thru the Covid year 2020, it has left most of us overtaxed and stretched to the limit as we try to gain control again.
With this being said, once again we thank you for your past support and hope you will continue to support our local animal shelter in your own individual way.
Thank you ~ Julie Johnson

Hello Everyone –

We have made the tough decision to postpone the 2020 Walk ‘n Roll Fundraiser so all walkers, sponsors and vendors have time to recover from the COVID-19 hit this past couple months. The new date has yet to be determined, but we'll let y'all know as soon as it is. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these crazy times.

Please remember that the Mat-Su Animal Shelter still needs your support, so if you can reach out to them in the interim, this link will give you many ways to do that: https://www.matsuanimalshelter.com/donate.

We hope that everyone two and four legged is getting out to enjoy their own ‘social distanced’ walks. We are looking forward to seeing you all later this year!

Hello Walk ‘n Roll sponsors and vendors!



Wow, did we pick a great year to take over this fundraiser or what? Not in a million years did we expect a pandemic to break out and throw us this curve ball, but we hope to roll – and walk – with the punch. I know we are all feeling the uncertainty of what lies ahead, but there is one big certainty amongst this chaos – the Mat-Su Shelter needs our help!



So, what’s the plan? We are being optimistic and still asking that you send in your sponsor funds and vendor fees by April 1st in support of the June 6th date. If the COVID-19 virus situation and health mandates are still a concern as the date nears, we will re-schedule the event to a later date. If these same concerns prohibit us from holding this event all year, we will donate all enrollments, sponsorships and vendor fees to the shelter without holding the actual walk.



Thank you for all your support and understanding. We hope this email finds you and your loved ones healthy!
