The Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society is hosting its second annual walk-a-thon fundraiser. Volunteers will walk for donations collected in advance from sponsors. All donations will be used to promote MCRS' missions of educating the public about keeping pet rabbits and helping homeless rabbits find permanent homes. The walk will begin at 10:00 a.m. Volunteers who raise at least $25 in donations will receive a t-shirt featuring the logo at left designed by MCRS volunteer Ted A, and the top three walkers who raise the most donations will receive prizes. There will be a free Hoppy Hour during the walk for walkers who wish to participate but also want to bring their bunnies for Bunfest.

Please sign up to walk by e-mailing info@mn.companionrabbit.org or calling 651-768-9755. In order to receive a walk t-shirt, please include your t-shirt size when you sign up.

There are two ways that you can collect donations. You can download a paper form and collect sponsor information on the form. If you use a paper form, please collect all donations in advance and bring them to the walk-a-thon. Checks should be made payable to the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society. You can also set up a donation page at giveMN.com. GiveMN is a website that allows you to set up a donation page for a non-profit event. You can send the link for your page to friends and family and they can make donations through a credit card payment that will be credited to MCRS' account. Check out our giveMN guide to get started.
