Ewok and Run 5K Fundraiser
Ewok and Run is a community 5K fundraiser organized to benefit Teacher's Pet. The event is scheduled for May 3, 2026 at River Bends Park in Shelby Township and is presented as a charitable run supporting the organization's programming for at-risk youth.
Teacher's Pet operates a 10-week curriculum that combines shelter dog care with social and emotional learning and trauma informed practices. The program partners with juvenile justice and community mental health settings and aims to teach skills such as empathy, patience, responsibility, and vocational readiness in animal care. Programs are currently running in Pontiac and Macomb, with an expressed intention to expand to additional facilities across Southeast Michigan.
The event description notes that sponsorships are being sought from organizations to support the fundraiser and the program's ongoing work. Sponsor recognition is planned in event marketing materials, including social media, flyers, and press releases. The organizer positions the run as a means to raise funds for Teacher's Pet while increasing community awareness of the program's model and services.
