N.J. Pets in Need: April 22, 2019

Pet owners can make a difference in the fight against cancer while walking their canines on April 27 at the second annual "Bark for Life of Central NJ” at Mannino Park in Old Bridge.

The three-hour event will begin at noon with a walk to remember and honor those who’ve battled cancer while also celebrating canine caregivers. Although the afternoon festival is a "dog-friendly" event, all members of the community, including those without dogs, are welcome to participate.

Bark For Life of Central NJ is a regional fundraiser and the American Cancer Society’s companion event to their Relay For Life walk festival. The event will feature entertainment, games and contests for dogs and humans alike. Sponsors, including Sammy’s Hope Animal Rescue, will have tables at the event.

The event will be held rain or shine at the park located at 1 Mannino Park Drive in Old Bridge. Registration starts at 11 a.m. Pre-event registration is suggested but participants may register onsite the day of the event. The suggested donation is $10 per person plus $10 per dog. The first 100 dogs pre-registered will receive a gift bag.

To register online, to donate, or for general information, go to relayforlife.org/BarkCentralNJ. More information can also be obtained by calling 732-292-4264 or emailing vicky.allen@cancer.org.
