Dance for the Dogs
Enjoy a night of dancing where each step helps raise money for our community!
How can I participate?
You can participate solo or team up with friends, family or coworkers to make an even bigger impact. Dancers collect pledges from sponsors, who either give a flat donation or pledge a certain amount based on how long the dancer keeps moving. There will be individual and team prizes for whoever raises the most money! The goal is to keep dancing for as long as possible.
