Join us in supporting the Humane Society of Skagit Valley at our annual FUNdraiser for the whole family! The Deputy Anne Jackson Memorial Walkathon is a beloved community event that raises funds to support our mission at HSSV. Anne Jackson, a dedicated friend and advocate for HSSV, tragically lost her life in the line of duty in 2008. Learn more about her story here.
2024 marks our 50th anniversary, and we’re thrilled to return to an in-person event after going virtual in 2020 due to COVID-19. The Memorial Walk, held in Anne Jackson’s honor each year, is a wonderful way to show your support for pets in need while remembering a fallen hero who championed animals.
