Surf Dog Surfathon, September 12, 2010

 

Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon is a fun event that raises funds for orphaned animals at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Owners and their pets will participate in 20 minute heats based on the dogs weight class. They will be judged on their ability to ride the waves, having fun and staying on their boards. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for each weight class and the first place winner will move on to the finals. This event will help raise awareness and money for orphaned pets while promoting responsible pet ownership. Interactive sponsor tents will be on sight for pet owners and their families, providing lots of fun activities for everyone. Helen Woodward Animal Center will be on sight with adoptable dogs and trained professionals to answer any type of animal related question. HWAC will also have an interactive tent with fun games and crafts for children and pets to play!
DOO THE DAH: Surfers decide whether they want to surf on their own or in a team for Doo the Dah for Dogs Human surfing costume contest, or if they want to surf with their pooch in the Surf Dog heat. They then pledge to catch a set number of waves (in a half hour time frame) and solicit friends and neighbors for financial support on behalf of their efforts. Judges will be on the lookout for the best themed team or individual. Other fun animal-friendly activities include the Beach Bum Bikini Babe Canine Costume Contest and interactive Vendor Booths from the surf and pet industries. Get ready for some sampling of great products and prizes for attendees. Local and national media will be involved in the promotion and coverage of this event, with expected attendance in the thousands!
