Morris Animal Foundation Sacramento

Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) Sacramento is doing research for canine cancer, early detection methods, effective treatments, and, ultimately, a cure!

Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) launched an unprecedented global effort to cure canine cancer through advanced scientific reseach. MAF is working to raise $30 million for research funds needed to prevent, treat and cure canine cancer within a dog’s lifetime–the next 10 to 20 years. MAF is the world’s largest nonprofit foundation 501(c)(3) dedicated to funding research studies to protect, treat and cure animals since 1948.

MAF volunteers in Sacramento spread the news about the Campaign and let dog lovers know that MAF is working hard to find a cure. The volunteer group began doing Canine Cancer Campaign information booths at dog events in the Sacramento region, Marin, and the Bay Area.

The Sacramento group became the first MAF Canine Cancer Campaign grass-roots outreach group. All their efforts have led to the group having the honor hosting the very first K9K Walk to Cure Canine Cancer in Elk Grove, California on April 18, 2009.

No more sitting and staying! We’re on the run, nipping at cancer’s heels. One day we will take cancer down. Join us in the war against cancer–there’s always room for more soldiers!
