Bark For Life of Central NJ will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on April 29 at Mannino Park, 1 Mannino Park Dr., Old Bridge.
Bark For Life is The American Cancer Society’s dog-friendly “canine companion event” which precedes the annual Relay For Life events throughout the region. The objective is to raise funds and community awareness in the fight against cancer, while simultaneously enjoying a fun day in the park with dogs and people who wish to put an end to cancer.
The event begins with a non-competitive group walk for dogs with their owners, followed by pet-friendly entertainment, contests, games, music, vendors and more. The event will feature a dog-agility course demonstration starring show dogs from Princeton Dog Training Club, and a Doggie Costume Contest.
Donations raised at Bark For Life of Central NJ support cancer research, patient services, disease prevention programs, clinical trials and advocacy.
The donation/registration fee is $10 per human participant plus $10 per dog.
