Park and Recreation Commission <br />Meeting Date: 04/11/2013 <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Title: <br />Presentation: Second Annual 'Bark for Life' Event at The Draw - April 27th, 2013 <br />5. 1. <br />Background: <br />Ramsey resident Kimberly Gust is organizing the Second Annual Bark for Life fundraiser at The Draw April 27th <br />from 9 AM until 1 PM. (She will review last years event and invite participants to the 2013 fundraiser. Two slides <br />from 2012, and a Power -Point on the up -coming occasion are attached for web viewers who wish to learn more.) <br />The American Cancer Society Bark for Life of the Anoka Area is a non-competitive walking event for dogs and <br />their owners to raise funds and awareness in the fight against cancer. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life <br />is a fundraising event that honors the care -giving qualities of our canine "best friends." This event is similar to the <br />Relay for Life, but this event honors the life-long contribution of our Canine Caregivers. It presents an opportunity <br />for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships and to contribute to the fight against <br />cancer. Canine companions represent unconditional love, joy, security, compassion, and no judgments of human <br />abilities or appearances. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is an incredible way to "take a bite out of <br />cancer, " smile, and make new friends — canine and human. <br />Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Funding Source: <br />This presentation highlights a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Action: <br />Attachments <br />Image from 2012 <br />Participants 2012 <br />2013 details <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer Grant Riemer 04/05/2013 10:15 AM <br />Form Started By: Mark Riverblood Started On: 04/05/2013 09:17 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 04/05/2013 <br />
