PAWS of CNY was proud to support the 6th annual Syracuse University and SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) Shack-a-Thon to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Students who participate in the event construct and sponsor a shack on the University Quad and then spend time in the structure for three days and two nights. Various events take place on the Quad during the event, encouraging students to come out and visit the camping students. PAWS of CNY offered camping students, and their visitors, a warm, friendly paw for two hours on Thursday September 25.
