Syracuse Wellness Week: SFI Partners for "Paws for Stress Event"

April 2013

Sunshine Friends, Inc. will once again be partnering with Syracuse University for their annual student “Wellness Week.” The event aims to help students reduce stress and lead a more well-balanced,healthy lifestyle during the most stressful time of their academic year.

Sunshine Friends, Inc. will be assisting students in their attempts to relieve stress by sharing with them the healing, stress-reducing benefits of our furry, pet volunteers. A group of certified therapy dogs will attend the event at Syracuse University, interacting with the students on the quad, and enjoying each other’s company.

Sunshine Friends, Inc. participated in the University’s “Paws for Wellness” event last year, with much success and with much appreciation from the students and University Staff. We were thrilled to be asked to attend again in 2013.
