Practice Your Dog Paddle for a Good Cause

May 8th, 2009

Join the Dog River Clearwater Revival for Dog Paddle 2009.

What is it? Dog River Clearwater Revival’s ONLY fundraiser. All proceeds will go to the restoration of Dog River Park (formerly Luscher Park) and efforts to improve water quality of Dog River.

Why come? We need people, who don’t necessarily own a boat or live on the river, to care about what happens to it. Public access is key, and the park is the only City park on Dog River. We want to make the park nicer for the community as well as make it a destination for Mobile families.

What’s the deal? Come Saturday, bring your canoe/kayak and participate. If you don’t have kayak/canoe, some will be there to use for free.

Race Time and Length of Race? 10:30AM, ½ mile

When? Saturday, May 16th 8:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.

There will be a party after the races with music, food/drinks, children’s activities, etc. We will also be having a pet adoption through ARF and a pet parade. All proceeds go to Friends of the Mobile Animal Shelter.
