Cause for Paws 2025 – Thank You for a Successful Event!
The annual Cause for Paws Gala of 2025 was a howling success! We are thrilled about how many of you showed up to celebrate with us on the 50th anniversary of UPAWS this year. 
Over 150 people enjoyed food, music, and camaraderie all to support our efforts at UPAWS to serve our community’s homeless animals. By coming together, and with the support of businesses and individuals, we were able to raise over $11,000 for our shelter.
From wagging tails to generous donations and community support, we could not be more grateful for the love of this community. You turned our milestone celebration into the perfect evening of community, compassion, and commitment to animal welfare.
