Strutt Your Mutt
03.20.10 STRUT YOUR MUTT Almost 1,300 people and their dogs participated in this SPCA of Texas fundraiser last year. This year, the society has set a $160,000 fundraising goal. The money goes toward rescuing and caring for abused pets, providing low-cost clinic services and finding homes for animals. The 3k fun run and walk starts at 10:15 a.m. ($30 for registration), but the festivities, including a “bow-wow bazaar”, are from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The bazaar features vendor booths, activities for pets and kids, and the SPCA of Texas mobile adoptions unit. Awards and prizes will go to the top individual and corporate fundraisers. For every $100 participants raise, their names will be put into a drawing for prizes donated by Southwest Airlines, the Dallas Mavericks and other corporate sponsors. Fundraisers don’t have to walk or run to participate. The festivities take place at the SPCA’s headquarters, 2400 Lone Star. spca.org/strutyourmutt.
