All participating animal welfare organizations will be selling items to raise funds and awareness for their own programs during this event.

After opening in 2013, the IHA Regional Spay/Neuter Clinic has spayed or neutered over 39,000 owned, shelter, and rescue animals as well as free-roaming stray cats,  preventing tens of thousands of unwanted animals entering our local shelters and rescues.

The "Break the Cycle" event will also help raise awareness for Spay/Neuter/Adopt and generate support for all the hard-working local animal welfare organizations in the area. It's good for participants, good for animals, good for our whole community!

So gear up for the critters, as we all pitch in to "Break the Cycle!"
