Gather your family, friends, colleagues, and even your dogs as we come together to celebrate Caty's life and continue the legacy she left behind.
Caty was a passionate advocate for children, a devoted therapy dog mom, and a friend who made everyone feel welcome. Her compassion, kindness, and dedication touched countless lives, and this event honors the causes she cared about most.
Whether you participate in the walk/run, make a donation, or simply help spread the word, your support helps keep Caty's legacy alive. We hope you'll join us for a day of remembrance, community, and purpose as we celebrate the incredible impact Caty had on so many lives.
