The Doggie Dash!!!!!

                What is the doggie dash?

The doggie dash is an event to raise money for the Oregon humane society. Every year on May 11th water front park is shut down for the dogs. People that registered for the event partake in a walk or run around the water front trail. The goal every year goes up a little bit but this year they are trying to raise 450,000 dollars. They have already surpassed that goal thanks to all of the people who registered their team and raised money for them. Each year the top team receives not only a massive applause form the

Thousands at water front park but they also receive a trophy. I have been to the event before and it is really a sight to see many different breeds and tons of cool vendors. 

The 2012 Doggie Dash Team Trophy was awarded to the JabberWalkies. They also have individual awards for the top donators #1 Individual Fundraiser: The individual who collects the most donations for Doggie Dash will receive a trip for two to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Airfare donated by Alaska Airlines.


A generous donor is providing complimentary lodging (estimated value $1,050) for one week in a one bedroom condo with fantastic views of Land's End in Cabo San Lucas

#2 Individual Fundraiser: The person who gathers the second-highest total donations for the Dash will receive two tickets to A Midsummer's Night with The Monkees, a concert at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on August 18.

#3 Individual Fundraiser: The third top individual fundraiser will win a pair of tickets to the Heart and Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience concert at Sleep Country Amphitheater on August 30.

They also have smaller prizes for the smaller donations as well. If you are interested in either making a donation or make team for next year you can go to http://www.oregonhumane.org/doggiedash/
