Just a reminder for anyone in the philadelphia area that our first ever - Canine Relay for Life will take place on April 19, 2008 at Riverfront Park in Pottstown. Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. Our team - GSDFAN's has the largest amount of dogs participating via a team and has raised close to $2,000.00 so far! We are number 2 in fundraising for canine teams. This event benefits the American Cancer Society and will show case our dogs as care givers to survivors and their families. We are also proud to announce that the Upper Bucks Schutzhund club has graciously agreed to perform a demo for the event. They are scheduled for 12:00, so please come out and join us.
