Bark For Life of Lake Elsinore

On Saturday, July 28th, dogs and their owners are invited to come out to McVicker Park to take a bite out of cancer.

The noncompetitive walk event gives dogs and their owners a chance to become involved in raising funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Lake Elsinore. The fun-filled day starts with a walk, honoring both human and canine cancer Survivors, then continues with demonstrations, contests and games.

This year's Lake Elsinore Bark For Life takes place July 28, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., at McVicker Park in Lake Elsinore.

Registration fees are $20 for one dog; $30 for two dogs. Register online for a discount of only $15 for one dog; and $25 for two dogs.

For those interested in having a booth at the event, booth fees start at $50 (additional donations are always welcome). Non-profit organizations are invited to host a booth free of charge. Vendors of all sorts (dog related or not) are welcome.
