Bark for Life - American Cancer Society



Next Saturday (March 15, 2010) the American Cancer Society is hosting a BARK FOR LIFE down at Piedmont Park! This is the canine version of the Relay for Life that many of you may have heard of in the past. Register, walk, celebrate! You will also get a participant goody bag which includes free Green Dog Cookie Co. cookies!!

Relay For Life’s motto is “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.” Bark For Life embodies the concept of Celebration – a celebration of life and of unconditional love, and of their ability to empower us through our relationships with our pets. By dedicating a morning to our furry friends and the special role they play in our lives, Bark For Life offers the entire community an opportunity to actively engage with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer by raising awareness and needed funds for continued research, programs, service, education, and advocacy.

Our canine companions offer us joy, security, and compassion. Your participation in Bark For Life honors these important family members, while supporting the life-saving mission of the American Cancer Society.

Bark For Life provides an irresistible way to “take a bite out of cancer.”
