Fido and Friends Walk

Make your dog paws-itively happy by joining actress/producer Laura Nativo “The Fairy Dogmother” and her skateboarding Pomeranian “Preston Casanova” for the 2012 Fido & Friends walk—presented by Cancer Support Community-Redondo Beach to support cancer patients and their loved ones. The fun-filled event takes place on Saturday, April 21 at Veteran’s Park—309 Esplanade, Redondo Beach. Late registration begins at 9 a.m., and the walk begins at 10a.m.  Acquire $50.00 or more in pledges to participate. Bring your dog or just yourself! Bring your family and friends, schoolmates or coworkers to vie for the biggest fundraiser prize. Form a team and walk in honor of a person or dog you know who has or had cancer. Carry their name on a sign if you wish, or just in your heart.  You and your dog will receive a free T-shirt, doggie bandana, and a fabulous doggie goodie bag. Laura and Preston will act as emcees for the event’s doggie contests, which include Best Dressed Dog and Owner/Doggie Look alike. An actor/model since the age of 8 weeks, Preston got his "big break" starring with his momma in the CBS hit reality show, “Greatest American Dog”. Other festivities include doggie adoptions, bike parade, vendor booths and Petting Zoo. Call 310-376-3550 to register, or visit the website at www.cancersupportredondobeach.org. Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance is Top Dog sponsor. Contact Kelley Matthews at Kelley@cancersupportredondobeach.org for other available sponsorship opportunities. Proceeds will be directed to the free support group programs at Cancer Support Community-Redondo Beach (CSC-RB). CSC-RB celebrates 25 years of free support, education and hope for cancer patients and their families.
