4 Paws for Ability is thrilled to announce “One Creek: 4 Paws,” an expansive service-learning project connecting students, staff, families, and community members across all 11 Beavercreek school buildings to support the mission of 4 Paws for Ability through fundraising, supply collections, volunteering, and advocacy throughout the 2026-2027 school year.
This initiative will be powered by Beavercreek City Schools, which has set a $30,000 fundraising goal to fully sponsor and support two future litters of 4 Paws for Ability service dogs at $15,000 per litter.
“4 Paws for Ability is honored to be selected by Beavercreek City Schools as their service-learning project,” added KaLynn Clark, Senior Development Director at 4 Paws for Ability. “We look forward to a year full of empowering young people to be advocates for people with disabilities through hands-on volunteer work, community engagement, and raising critical funds.”
“One Creek: 4 Paws gives our students an opportunity to see what can happen when an entire community comes together around a shared purpose,” Beavercreek Superintendent Paul Otten said. “This project is about learning from others, recognizing needs within our community, finding ways to serve, and understanding that each of us has the ability to make a difference. We have an incredible opportunity to make an impact together.”
Students across all grade levels will participate in age-appropriate, creative activities designed to foster empathy, community action, and hands-on service.
