4th Annual Walk for No-Kill Dog Walk

Sunday, June 13, 2010
Rain or Shine!

Our 4th Annual Walk for No-Kill Dog Walk is a scenic walk to raise money to provide care for homeless pets until they find forever homes. The route will take you and your furry pal on a 2-mile walk along a scenic trail at the Goddard State Park Carousel in Warwick, RI. What a great way to bond with your pet and get some much-needed exercise!

We hope that you will come out and show your support for the homeless animals in our community by being part of this year's Walk. You don’t have to have a dog to join the fun. Walk in honor of an animal friend or all our pets waiting for adoption. All proceeds from the Walk will help the Pet Refuge continue our important work.

Nneka Nwosu from WPRI-12 Eyewitness News will kick off the walk. DJ services will be provided by Phillip Weston (pmwest@hotmail.com).

A $10.00 gift certificate to the Meritage Restaurant will be handed out to the first 80 registered walkers!
A $5.00 gift card to Old Mountain Lanes will be handed out to every registered walker!

We will also have these contests. Does your dog have what it takes?

  • Best Trick
  • Best Howl/Bark
  • Best Tail Wagger
  • Fastest Frosty Paws Eater (limited to 20 contestants)

Also new this year: Doggie Cool-Down Area with pools

Business Sponsorship Opportunities
We would like to invite you to be a business sponsor for the Pet Refuge 4th Annual Walk for No-Kill Dog Walk. Sponsorship is an opportunity to show your community that you are making a positive difference in our area. From monetary sponsorships to donations for participants' goodie bags, there are all kinds of different ways to help.

Your sponsorship will include:

  • Company name/logo on event web site with hyperlink
  • Company name on at-event signage
  • Company name/logo on at-event flyer distributed to all registered walkers
  • Opportunity to place giveaway and/or info in event attendees bags
  • Special recognition in at-event public address messages

Your generous sponsorship will help us with feeding, spaying/neutering, veterinary treatment, and the continued expansion of the shelter.

If you would like to donate an item for our goodie bags, please contact us at animalz@cox.net or at (401) 294-1115.


Collecting Pledges
The success of the Walk also depends on the number of people who walk with us and collect pledges. START FUNDRAISING NOW...Getting started is easy!

How do you participate? Ask family members, friends, and coworkers to make a donation to sponsor you and your dog. If you would like to participate but don't have a dog to walk, you can still collect donations on behalf of the shelter, in honor or memory of a beloved pet or animal lover, or simply in your own name or the name of your pet.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 fundraisers. And we will give a free Pet Refuge T-shirt to those who raise $50 or more.

There are two ways that you can collect donations and keep track of your sponsors.

  • You can collect donations of cash or checks and use the Pledge Form to record your sponsors' donations.
  • Or, you can collect donations on-line through the Pet Refuge Fundraising Page (the title of this page is "North Kingstown Animal Protection League Inc"). Once you are on that page, do this...

    1. Click on the button.
    2. Customize the text and photo of your online Personal Fundraising Page to express your passion and purpose for walking. It only takes a few minutes to create your page.
    3. Send the link out to your friends, family, colleagues - anyone you think will help you reach your goal.
    4. Send the link to your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and zootoo accounts to spread the word to the masses about the event and how people can help you reach your goal.

Vendor Opportunities
We would like invite you and your business to set up a table at our 4th annual Walk for No-Kill Dog Walk. We are offering businesses the opportunity to display, promote and sell their products and services to our participants and their four-legged friends. We ask for a $15.00 donation for those participants who are going to be selling products. If you are a non-profit group handing out information, there is no charge for your participation.

For a $15.00 donation, you will receive:

  • Company name/logo on event web site with hyperlink
  • Company name/logo on at-event flyer distributed to all registered walkers
  • Opportunity to place your business promotional materials and/or info in event attendees bags
