On March 28, all of us here at Talk will be participating in the Walk for Those Who Can’t, a fundraising event benefiting Carolina Canines for Service, and we’ve got some pretty exciting things planned. We hope all of you out there in the blog-o-sphere will come out for the event, or possibly make donations to our team. CCFS has done some incredible things for our community and we look forward to helping them help others. Here are just a few highlights for this year’s Walk:
- Talk’s Kissing Booth - It’s baaaaaaaaack! In case you missed last year’s Paw Jam, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by our larger-than-life kissing booth featuring one of Talk’s furry friends. This year the superstar kisser is none other than Winnie, my precious 6-month-old Dachshund-mix puppy. At a sturdy 11lbs, Winnie loves to show affection and treats each newcomer like her very best friend. Even though my little girl will gladly give out smooches for free, she kindly appreciates any size donation to Carolina Canines for her services.
- The Loop - The 2.45-mile path around a public park and scenic marshes in Wrightsville Beach is a sight to be seen on any given sunny day. Lucky for our Walkers, the Loop serves as the location for the big event and participants can enjoy the scenery while helping a great cause. It really is a win-win!
- Dogs, dogs and more dogs - As a fundraiser for Carolina Canines, the Walk invites any and all leashed dogs to join in the fun. Service dogs, therapy dogs, adopted dogs, big dogs and little dogs will gather at the Loop for hours of socializing and exercise. Talk’s top dog Camden will definitely be there for all the excitement as well as Kelly’s Gunner, Kirsty’s Peter and my Winnie.
- Carolina Canines for Service - All of this wouldn’t be possible without CCFS. This organization has touched the lives of so many groups of people, from veterans to school children, and we are all lucky to have this non-profit and the people that run it in our community.
I can’t encourage all of you enough to come out for the Walk For Those Who Can’t on March 28 at the Loop in Wrightsville Beach beginning at 9 a.m. For more information, visit www.walkforthosewhocant.org. If you can’t make it to the Walk, donate to the Talk Team at www.firstgiving.com/talkinc.
