|
| The American Cancer Society's Dogwalks
Against Cancer is a rare and rewarding opportunity to help
so many. People and animals alike walked in Riverside Park,
New York City to help save lives and walk against Cancer.
Dogswalk is a non-competitive dog walk-a-thon to raise money
for the fight against human and animal cancers; a portion
of the proceeds is given to the Animal Cancer Foundation,
a nonprofit organization that believes in finding better ways
to treat animals that have cancer. It was tail-wagging good
time for everyone including Petland Discounts who was one
of the sponsors of this wonderful event. Petland Discounts
had a booth at the walk with raffles and free give-aways for
all the pooches that participated in the walk. |

Cancer Society (ACS) funds scientists throughout the country
who have made groundbreaking advances in the fight against
cancer. They fund a variety of community programs that educate
people on how to make healthy choices and reduce their cancer
risk through screening guidelines. The Society's advocacy
efforts on the local, state and federal levels have led to
stronger public health laws, early detection awareness, and
better access to care. The American Cancer Society serves
our communities in a multitude of languages while offering
support from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. To learn
