This morning, my veterinarian's office posted on Twitter that they will be co-hosting a Canine Cancer Walk on October 1. I hope that by then, Gibbs will be well enough trained and socialized to participate. But that reminded me of several other pet-related fundraising events going on in my area, so this clearly deserves its own post:
Orphans of the Storm is having its 5th Annual Pooch Parade this Saturday, August 20, in Highland Park. I adopted my Late Great Dog Dallas from Orphans.
Wright-Way Rescue is having a Harvest for Hounds Run/Walk Fall Festival on October 8 in Niles. I adopted Gibbs from Wright-Way.
Niles Animal Hospital is having a garage sale in its parking lot for the benefit of a Refuge for Saving the Wildlife, the parrot rescue where I volunteer, on September 18.
If you are in Chicagoland, I hope you can participate. But if not, all of the charity websites accept donations!

- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
