Pets of Fox Chase Cancer Center 2026 Calendar Coming this Fall

The Paws for the Cause Committee is excited to bring you the first ever Pets of Fox Chase Cancer Center calendar this fall! Thank you to all the FCCC faculty and staff who submitted photos, the winning pets will be announced this summer, and copies of the 2026 calendar will be available for purchase at the Paws for the Cause dog walk on September 14th, and at the raffle tables in the Young Pavilion the week leading up to the event.

All proceeds from this fundraising calendar will benefit the Postdoctoral Research Program and research here at Fox Chase.

Wondering what photo to submit? We’ll need pets for every season and holiday, so show us your dog, cat, rabbit, horse or lizard in their Christmas, or Halloween best, enjoying the autumn leaves, or maybe smelling the summer flowers! Well lit photos where your pet’s face (and personality!) is clearly visible are most likely to be chosen. Space in the calendar is limited, so please understand your photo may not be selected this year, but we still appreciate your participation!
