September 20 "Bark at the Park" Event Celebrates Saving the Lives of More Than One Thousand Animals
Los Angeles, Calif. – Animal Advocates Alliance (AAA), a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization, has helped save the lives of more than one thousand animals in shelters throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties just this year. To celebrate this outstanding work, and to thank the organization´s nearly two-hundred volunteers for their tireless efforts, AAA is hosting the first annual "Bark at the Park" on Sunday, September 20, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Pan Pacific Park (7600 Beverly Blvd., Hollywood).
The event, which will take place near the park´s amphitheatre, is family-and pet-friendly, and will include activities such as face painting, dog bowl decorating, and a "Best Bark" contest for children, and activities such as "Bob for Weenies," a silly pet trick contest, and a dog costume contest for pooches and their owners. In order to raise funds to continue and expand the organization´s programs, AAA will also hold a silent auction and raffle, with items such as vacation packages, sports packages, and a variety of products for your furry friends, all donated from businesses and individuals in the community.
Joining AAA at Bark at the Park are several local vendors who are also committed to animal welfare. Green Truck on the Go, an all-organic caterer, will be providing delicious food for the guests. Margo´s Bark Soda Co. will be selling their famous root beer and other sodas, and will donate all proceeds to AAA´s programs. PETaPOTTY and Skybark will have a red carpet and a bark bar with unique dog waters available for our four-legged guests. Urban Pet and Paws & Learn will have informational booths with interesting, fun, and educational items for dogs and people alike. In addition, in cooperation with the Baldwin Park shelter, AAA will be bringing dozens of adoptable dogs from the shelter to enjoy some much-needed fresh air and sunshine, and hopefully find adoptive homes.
AAA is allowing guests to plan ahead by purchasing the VIP "Big Dog" Package, which includes two Green Truck on the Go meals, 2 Margo´s Bark sodas, 2 treats from the AAA bake sale, 2 dog bowls that can be customized, and 4 raffle tickets. Individuals may purchase the "Big Dog" package for $50, a savings of $30, on the AAA website (http://animaladvocatesalliance.org/bark-at-the-park-2/) or by phone at (310) 285-8422.
