In one week from Sunday, on Sunday, May 16, hundreds of dog lovers will gather at beautiful Belmont Lake State Park to have a dog-gone good time, while walking to raise funds to find a cure for Leukemia & Lymphoma. “Canines for a Cure” www.lls.org/lidogwalk is the Second Annual dog walk for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and will once again be an awesome time for both the dogs and their owners. The event will have contests for the best owner/dog look-a-like contest, “Pawject Runway” – the Best Dressed Dog Contest, pet vendors, goody bags for the first 100 attendees, music and more! The registration fee for all dogs who pre-register (by April 30) is $30 and includes a free parking permit for the day. Each dog registered will receive their own fundraising webpage where they can ask for or woof for donations from family, friends, co-workers, and fellow dog park canines, now how cool is that? 

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is thrilled to have local pet photographer, Michael Korol of Furry Paws Pet Portraits, www.furrypawspetportraits.com, as the Official Photographer. Michael will be taking photos of the dogs, the walkers, candid photos of the event and will be offering free keychain photographs at his booth, while supplies last. 

Registration for the dog walk starts at 9am and the walk starts at 10:15am, so be sure to get there early. Belmont Lake State Park is in North Babylon, off of Southern State parkway. The event is held rain or shine. So gather up Lucy, Buster, and Max and don’t miss this, not-to-be missed dog walk of the season!  (And stop by and see our table, we will have giveaways and a raffle too!)
