RALLY FOR RESCUES
Fall Festival
October 11, 2025
A Rally Like Never Before:
Paws and Claws' First-Ever Fall Fest
Rally for Rescues returned on October 11, 2025 with a little bit of spice. Giving our 5th annual Rally a refresh, we held our first-ever fall fest. Held at Baker Park in Evanston on a cool fall day, nestled under whispering autumn trees, we shared everything that's loved about Rally for Rescues mashed up with a fall festivities.
With over 350 people in attendance, the Paws and Claws community was joined by new fans and friends from all across Chicagoland. Together we enjoyed a market filled with fresh farm goods, vintage finds, good reads, build-your-own-bouquets, pumpkin decorating, and seasonal treats. Kiddos and the young at heart enjoyed activities like face painting, raffles, tie-dying, and a festive photo booth.
All proceeds went to The Porchlight Fund to uplift the mission of Paws and Claws and to benefit our rescue cats.
