About Paws for the Cause
Paws for the Cause, presented by West Pharmaceutical Services, is a one mile walk that raises money for cancer research and care at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Join us on Sunday, September 20th at our campus in Northeast Philly to walk your dog in support of our mission to prevail over cancer! Dogs are welcome but are not required for attendance.
Paws for the Cause Raised Nearly $124,000 in 2025
The 26th annual Paws for the Cause, led by Committee Chair Lori Giampaolo, Patient Ambassador Leslie Maxwell, Physician Ambassador Dr. Anthony Villano, and Board of Associates President Barbara O’Donnell, raised $123,833 to support the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, ovarian cancer research, and the new Young Adult Cancer Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center. This was made possible through the support of our loyal sponsors, including Title Sponsor West Pharmaceutical Services, and the amazing community that donates to and participates in Paws for the Cause. Thank you!
