PAWS FOR POSSIBILITY
A neighborhood dog parade for a big purpose.
Saturday, June 13 | Robinhood Neighborhood of Grand Rapids, MI | 5 PM
Paws for Possibility is a fun, neighborhood-wide dog parade bringing the community together in support of children with Childhood-Onset HSP in honor of Donovan Lassig, who has de novo SPG4.
From front yards and driveways, 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.
