Dog Jog-a-thon Fundraises for Vets without Borders in Chile

Guillermo and I were very pleased to receive the following email from Kaytie:
"On September 12, 2010 K9 Awareness held a Dog Jog-a-thon to raise funds for Vets Without Borders Chilean project. Our goal was to have at least one K9 treadmill running for 12 hours by dog owners purchasing a ticket to run their dog for 30 minutes each. We started at 8 a.m. and finished at 8 p.m. with a total of 42 dogs participating. Along with money raised from the sale of the tickets we had a wonderful silent auction with a great selection of donated items to bid on. A friend and business associate, Charmaine Hammond combined celebrating the birthday of her star dog “Toby” who is featured in her new book “On Toby’s Terms” with our event. Charmaine had the book on sale and donated $7.00 per sale to the fundraiser as well.  Between the Jog-a-thon ticket sales, book  sales and the Silent Auction, less the expenses of running the event, we raised $1,800!"

Have a look at come of the great photos: 
Thank you so much for supporting Veterinarians without Borders Chile project. We really appreciate it.
