About FETCH a Cure and Pets on Parade
FETCH a Cure is a 501 ©(3) non-profit organization focused on improving the quality of life for our pets. Working with pet owners and the veterinary community, FETCH is furthering pet cancer awareness, education, and treatment. Our vision is simple: A community where no one is denied a choice for their pet’s health due to lack of options, education or funding.
FETCH a Cure will return to the gorgeous Main Street Station in downtown Richmond for our 16th celebration of the Pets On Parade Benefit & Auction on Friday November 15, 2024! Pets on Parade is one of FETCH a Cure’s signature events, hosting over 600 people and their furry family members. This is by far the most fun guests will have at a charity auction! Attendees will enjoy delicious local cuisine from some of Richmond’s best restaurants, signature cocktails, a varied silent auction with something for everyone, and a spirited live auction at FETCH’s biggest fundraiser of the year!
Funds raised at Pets on Parade help support FETCH a Cure in our mission to further pet cancer awareness, education and treatment and provide financial support for ongoing programs including the Companions in Crisis Fund. This program provides financial assistance to help families pay for life-saving treatments for their pets who have been diagnosed with cancer.
