Prizes & Giveaways: All participants will receive a giveaway.  All participants with at least $10 in donations will receive an APET ball cap.  And the walker with the most donations will receive a $100 Savings Bond donated by The Mineola Community Bank.  Second runner up will receive a $50 gift certificate donated by the Mineola Walmart.

Can’t join us?  How about sponsoring Gumbo (no, he is not eligible for the prizes).  Go to http://www.apetspca.org/donate and enter “Gumbo” in the purpose section of the donation form.  Any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Briefly: This is an individual competition for school-aged kids (this is much like the parameters used for Walk for the Cure and Paws for the Cause). Participants are asked to approach neighbors, friends, relatives, church members, stores or where ever and ask to be sponsored to walk their dog for this charity event. A donation is any amount the sponsor can donate. Donations are all tax deductible. Students will need to collect the donation at the time that the “pledge” is made (donor requested receipts can be provided at the time the donation is submitted at the event). Collections should be retained in an envelope. Cash is preferable, but if a sponsor wishes they can write a check made payable to APET SPCA. A sheet will be provided to the students to list the names and contribution amounts of the sponsors. These forms, the envelope of money and a Permission Slip/Waiver signed by parent(s) allowing participation will be required at registration the morning of the event. Parents/grandparents and school personnel will be greatly encouraged to participate, and the event will be written up in the Mineola Monitor. They and a local TV station may be on hand as well. Volunteers will line the periphery of the Civic Center to hand out water, monitor safety and walkers and hand out bags to collect pet droppings. The actual walk is approximately one mile.

Remember: Supporting APET initiatives is just giving back to the community.
