A local nonprofit organization, Friends of Jacksonville Animals, Inc. will be hosting a fundraiser on November, 13 to raise money and awareness for homeless animals. The first annual “Strut Your Mutt” fundraiser will be a half-mile walk down the Northbank Riverwalk for pet owners and their dogs (or just animal lovers). The half- mile is suitable for doggies of all shapes and sizes, so please reassure your four- legged child (or children) that they too can take part in the event. All walkers will receive free coffee the morning of the race from Fanzzini Coffee as well as other goodies from corporate sponsors. This is a terrific opportunity to come out and meet fellow animal lovers while contributing to a worthy cause. Walkers can either register individually or form a team. Registration is $20 and more information can be found at http://www.firstgiving.com/friendsofjacksonvilleanimals.

 Already registered to walk? Friends of Jacksonville, Inc. is still seeking corporate sponsors for the fundraiser. With sponsorships starting as low as $100, all businesses that contribute will be featured on the events promotional materials. With over 300 walkers expected to register, this is a fantastic advertising avenue for local businesses. If your business is looking to become a sponsor please contact board member and marketing chairman Tony Caribaltes. Tony can be reached at (904) 379-9060 or by email:caribaltesconsulting@comcast.net.

 We hope to see you strut your stuff at “ Strut Your Mutt”!
