The 麻豆传媒映画Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) holds a day of family friendly festivities for its second annual "Walk for the Kitties" festival and walkathon at Jericho Beach on Sunday, Aug. 21. Participants can pre-register and download pledge forms online at vokra.ca. The "Walk for the Kitties" festival and walkathon is a key fundraising event for VOKRA-a nokill, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of cats in the Lower Mainland. Run by volunteers, VOKRA relies on community donations and adoption fees to pay for food, litter, and medical bills for the abandoned cats and kittens it rescues. The festival begins at 10 a.m. with a 10-kilometre walkathon along Jericho Beach. Participant registration begins at 9: 30 a.m. at the Jericho Sailing Club. After the walkathon, attendees can meet VOKRA cats and participate in games, contests, face painting, raffles, food, and live music. Prizes will be awarded to the top two pledge-drivers.
