Well, here we are, getting ready
for our sixth Canines For Kids Walk…
our 6th!!! Unbelievable! Through our first 5 Walks, we have raised
over $18,000 which has been sent to Costa Rica, helping 3 different
schools. We have replaced 2 school
roofs, built bathrooms, installed dropped ceilings, tiled floors in hallways
and classrooms, purchased desks, white boards, books, cabinets and even
outfitted an inner city soccer team.
Dad feels so confident that we
will smash through the $20,000 mark this year and EcoTeach Foundation has
identified yet another new school for us in need of so many things that it
seems overwhelming. Yet, if we are able
to get the support for our four-legged Walkers as we have in the past, if you
two-legged folks reading this post send in a donation for your favorite Walker,
we will absolutely go north of that $20,000 figure!!! That is just SO much money… probably enough
to buy 40,000 bones or 60,000 Beggin’ Strips.
It’s kinda sad that we won’t have
Tyler with us on September 8th for this year’s Walk as his dad,
Jeff, will be away on business. But,
Tyler has promised me that he and his dads will do their Canines For Kids Walk
in Manhattan when Jeff gets back. Great
thing about these Canines For Kids Walks, we pooches can do them anytime and
anywhere we want, so long as the kids in Costa Rica benefit!!
So, if you are reading this and
want to sponsor a Walker, you can either write a check made out to The EcoTeach
Foundation or visit their website at http://www.ecoteach.org/ and click on “Donate” for a link to PayPal….
If you must support another canine, that’s okay, but just remember that my name
is Bismark and I’m the most handsome of all pooches!!
But, being a 14 year old
miniature Daschund, I must admit that these one mile Walks ain’t getting any
easier for me so I need to wrap up this post and get some rest.
Thanks for reading this and for
supporting we Canines as we support the kids of Costa Rica!!!
Tails Wags & Licks,
