Furry Scurry

Thanks to everyone that came out & donated, the 16th annual Furry Scurry was a HUGE success! They raised more than $865,000 to help homeless pets this year. They are 99% in reaching the goal that they set of $875,000 for 2009.

The Furry Scurry was a two-mile walk and fun run in Washington Park. Click on the highlighted Furry Scurry Picture link to see all the thousands of people & pets that came out to support the cause it was so much fun! (Furry Scurry Pictures) This fundraiser helps the Dumb Friends League care for as many as 25,000 homeless animals every year and provides valuable services to our community. I loved volunteering my time for such a wonderful & much needed cause.

The day was beautiful the weather was great not too hot, & not too cold it was just right. I donated my time at the even working in the Corporate registration area. It was very hectic from time to time yet everything managed to stayed organized. Amber & I were busy the whole day no time for breaks...LOL We did however manage to watch some of the contest they had going on. By the end of the day I was exhausted but when I look back at waking up at 5:00 am to be there by 6:00 am volunteering for over 10 hours it was all worth it every moment.
