The annual 5K run/1 mile walk benefits Stop the Suffering, a 501 (c)(3) based in Columbus, Ohio, that saves animals from shelters and other situations in which their lives might be at risk. STS adopts about 500 dogs a year and transports around 4,000 cats and dogs from rural shelters and puppy mills to rescue organizations. STS also sponsors the vet care, boarding expenses and other costs when needed to help save an animal’s life. Additionally, STS has a program that helps with many local municipalities’ spay and neuter programs in order to help control the pet population.
