Cause for Paws

The third annual Cause for Paws fundraiser was held

Saturday at the Lawrence County Community

Center in Louisa. The event raised approximately

$4,500 for the Lawrence County Humane Society.

Fundraising coordinator Helen Holt said the money

will be used for food, medications, utilities, or where

they see the most need at the time. “We did have a

major raffle for a Smoky Mountain Trip which was

won by Pedra Berenson of Oregon,” Holt said

Monday. “We raffled off a bike, won by Delphia

Fitzpatrick, and AirPod Pros, won by Sherry

Compton. A highlight of our event was a live

presentation by Andy McKee with Mountain State

Reptile Rescue. We had a petting zoo, line dancers

from Louisa Boot Scooting, Kenney Chaney was our

D.J .and his daughter, Kara, sang. All in all, we had

a great turnout for the event.” BSN photos/Brenda
