    Our Purpose

    The Pet Rescue Run has been initiated as a way to honor the legacy of our loved one, JoAnne Aebi. JoAnne had an unwavering passion for animals and a deep desire to make a positive impact on their well-being. This annual fundraiser supports J & J Furry Friend Foundation, a 501c(3) and will assist in carrying out her unfinished work. The mission of this organization is to help Michigan based animal rescues by way of providing much needed supplies and funds. Proceeds from this event will go directly toward this cause. In the past two years we've raised over $10,000 that has assisted numerous different local rescues.

    Prizes

    Enter to win a $50 gift card and other fun prizes by bringing a bag of pet food, dog treats, dog toys, bleach, paper towels, or pet bed. The more items you bring the more chances you have to win.

    After the race, please join us for award prize announcements for 1st & 2nd male and female finishers as well as age category prizes for the 5K. All Finishers will receive a medal after the race. Post race water and snack provided by Marsack and Marshall Real Estate Team. Cupcakes provided by family to celebrate what would have been JoAnne's 54th birthday.
