PAWS FOR POSSIBILITY
A neighborhood dog parade for a big purpose.
Saturday, June 13 or Saturday, June 27| Robinhood Neighborhood of Grand Rapids, MI
Paws for Possibility is a fun, neighborhood-wide dog parade bringing the community together in support of children with SPG4.
From front yards to sidewalks, this event invites neighbors to participate in a simple but meaningful way—whether you are walking a pup or cheering along the route. What starts as a local gathering becomes something bigger: awareness, connection, and real momentum toward advancing research.
This event is independently organized and led by members of our community. The Lilly and Blair Foundation is not involved in its planning or execution, but the funds raised directly support our mission.
