Boomerang Club

Are you a veteran of Great Dane in the Morning! Walk?

Then register for this year's event by Sunday, August 22nd, and know that you'll be inducted into the Boomerang Club (because you've come back, of course!) and you'll receive a special Boomerang Club t-shirt at the event. That way, EVERYONE will know that you've multiplied your fun and your assistance of Great Danes in need.

Raising Funds for Great Danes in our Care

Sure, the Walk is a fun event. And sure, it provides human friends and canine companions an opportunity to get together for some fresh air and exercise. But the real purpose of the Walk is to raise funds to assist Danes in need of permanent loving homes. To encourage everyone to raise pledges to support RMGDRI, we've got some great fundraising prizes this year. If you turn in $100 at the event, your name will be entered in the drawing to win - and every additional $100 you raise, your name will be entered again. Prizes include doggie-related gift baskets, Dane artwork, and more.

Top Dog Club - We want to thank the event's very best fundraisers - and we want you to get extra recognition for your outstanding efforts. The "Top Dog Club" recognizes everyone that raises $300 or more. In addition to getting three chances to win in our prize drawing, you'll receive a commerative fleece hoodie. You can wear your Top Dog hoodie with pride, and proclaim to everyone that sees it that you are a champion for Danes in need.

We are asking that each participant find 10 people who will sponsor him or her on the Walk by pledging $10 each. Encourage at least three friends to participate in the Walk with you. Ask each of your friends to find 10 pledges of their own.
