HeritagePark inCantonTownship.
Bark For Life is a fundraising effort which
honors the care-giving qualities of canine
companions while supporting the mission of
the American Cancer Society. In 2014, the
Bark for Life of Canton welcomed more than
90 canine participants and generated more
than $10,000 for the American Cancer Society
mission.
Registration for the non-competitive walk
will begin at 10 a.m. Following the opening
ceremony at 11, there will be a survivor cere-
mony, music provided by Bob Etzel, photogra-
phy provided by Eye 4 One photography, children's activities provided by Home
Depot, shopping, a best costume contest, musical sit, and other on-sight activities.
“Dogs havemany roles in their owner's lives. They are not only a pet but also a
best friend. Aswell amember of the family” said Janet Stafford, event chair.
“When a person is going through cancer treatment sometimes as a human it is
hard to find the right words of encouragement and support. Yet, a dog doesn't
need words or direction. They somehow know just what they need to do whether
it is cuddling next to you, getting you up for a walk or just being there. They play
an important role in the care giving process.
“This is why Bark For Life, a Relay For Life event, recognizes the care giving
qualities dogs provide. We celebrate the support they give their loved ones and
they, too, helpus at our event take one step closer to finding a cure for cancer.”
