MAF Triples Numbers at 2nd Annual K9 Cancer Walk

California Dog Lovers Come Together to Help Fight Canine Cancer

Nearly 700 northern California dog lovers rallied on Saturday, April 24 to raise more than $61,000 for canine cancer research. The 2nd annual K9 Cancer Walk at Elk Grove Regional Park benefited Denver-based Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign, an initiative to fund research to treat, prevent and, ultimately, cure cancer in dogs.

More than 40 teams participated in the Top Dogs Contest. We are happy to announce the Top Dogs Contest winners are:

Top Team:
Golden Retriever Meetup & Norcal Golden Rescue team who raised nearly $6,500

Most Team Members:
Golden Retriever Meetup & Norcal Golden Rescue Team with over 60 team members

Top Fundraiser:
Ricochet the Surfing Dog

Most Spirit:
Team Greyhound

This year’s walk was sponsored by Eukanuba, 4GVerizon Wireless, Inc., Franklin Ranch Pet Hospital and Sacramento VCA Referral Center.

Thank you to our volunteers, participants, team captains and sponsors for their commitment to Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign! With your help, the 2nd annual K9 Cancer Walk was definitely a success. 

We look forward to seeing you next year in Elk Grove, Calif.!
