PAWS Board President, Randy Allgaier, begins the event with a tribute to the people and dogs that are involved in the Search and Rescue Efforts in NYC. PAWS will donate a portion of the more than $20,000.00 raised at the Fun Run to the Search and Rescue K-9 Teams in New York. After the tribute, the crowd observed a moment of silence to reflect on the tragic events of the past week.
