Sunday October 16th 20 people and 4 dogs came out to the Pumped For Paws event to raise money for the NSPCA. Each person/mutt was required to pay $10 with all the money going to our local NSPCA. One event we raised $312 and everyone had a lot of fun while getting a great workout. I will have one event each month. The next Pumped For Paws event is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 13th. People can come and workout with their teenagers, dogs, or bring a friend. We provide two separate workouts. One is for people who bring their dogs and one workout will be for people without.
This event is a great opportunity for people to get out and workout with their family. The obesity epidemic impacts kids, dogs, and adults. So why not get everyone out to exercise for a great cause. Here is a letter I received from the NSPCA after they received the donation:Hi Cyndee,
On behalf of all of us at Nevada SPCA, thank you very much for choosing our lifesaving work for animals as the beneficiary of Pumped For Paws and for raising $312 for animal rescue and rehabilitation at your October 15th event.
This money will help us save and protect the lives of community animals in desperate need, and give them the care they need to prepare for a new and better life in a loving, forever home.
The pictures you forwarded were terrific!
Thanks again to you and the others who participated in Pumped For Paws and for your compassion for animals.
