Cha-cha for a Cuddly Cause: Love Mutts Rescue to Hold Dancing for Dogs Fundraiser
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) May 30, 2014 -- Love Mutts Rescue today announced that it will be holding its first-ever “Dancing for Dogs” fundraising event this June. The event will include a fun-filled dance fitness class, where participants will enjoy an opportunity to cha-cha, samba and salsa to lively music. After the class a silent auction will be held and a light, healthful lunch will be provided by PDQ Restaurant, a local eatery known for its tasty, freshly prepared food and high-quality ingredients.
Fundraiser participants will be entered into a grand prize drawing, the winner of which will receive a 3-night stay at the Atlantis Lodge, a pet friendly oceanfront hotel located on the Crystal Coast.
“Dancing for Dogs” will be sponsored by TripsWithPets.com, a pet travel site dedicated to helping pet parents find pet friendly lodging, restaurants and beaches throughout the United States and Canada. Co-sponsoring the event is Rapid Fitness. As the Triangle’s leading fitness center, Rapid Fitness is committed to the health and fitness of its members, offering everything from mixed martial arts to yoga to promote whole wellness.
Dancing for Dogs will be held at Rapid Fitness’s Falls of Neuse Road location. Tickets for the fundraiser cost $25 each, and all proceeds will go toward supporting Love Mutts Rescue. Love Mutts Rescue is an organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals who have been abandoned and have little to no hope of adoption. The organization’s founder, Marlianne Midyette, couldn’t be more excited about the event.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for people to come together to support animals in need, in a way that’s fun, challenging, and different,” she says. “We are thrilled and honored to have the support of TripsWithPets.com.
