The event includes:
• Complimentary breakfast for registered walkers during registration and prior to the walk. Walkers that raise at least $100 receive a goodie bag and an event T-shirt. And there will be secret roving judges during the walk awarding prizes during the walk to your canine companions.
• Silent auction during the entire event. Bid for items and check back to ensure you’re still the top bidder. Tremendous deals have been won at previous events! At the end of the event, payments are collected and auction items are distributed. Items must be picked up at the end of the event.
• Fundraising prizes will be awarded and there will be a raffle for walk participants after the walk.
Who: Animal lovers, dogs, families and anybody who wants to walk for a good cause are welcome.
