Scenes From Strut Your Mutt

On Saturday, GRCGLAR had its most successful Strut Your Mutt walkathon yesterday in the splendid afternoon sun of Pacific Palisades. Behind the backdrop of Will Rogers State Park, we enjoyed the company of our walkers, volunteers, and of course our Goldens.

LA Kings Ice Crew
Our special dog Roofus, subject of a nationally televised PBS documentary, was in attendance cheering on the strutters and sporting a very snappy visor. You can read more of Roofus and follow her on Facebook here.

Also visiting our group were the Los Angeles Ice Crew, the official cheer squad for the Stanley Cup Los Angeles Kings.  A special thank you goes out to them for their tireless efforts in the community.

Finally, GRCGLAR reached a personal success with this event as we finished in second place($63,820) in terms funds raised for all volunteer organizations, finishing just behind Cage Free K-9 Rescue Foundation ($91,795). As a result, GRCGLAR has earned a $5,000 grant from the Best Friends Society! The evening was capped off with an evening 30th Anniversary showing of "Dirty Dancing."

Overall, it was wonderful afternoon to be had by all. Hopefully, you will be able to join us at next years' event.
