Canine Health Events
Run for Research 2008
What? Three days of AKC agility trials and matches

Who? Agility enthusiasts and their four-legged partners

When? June 6-8, 2008

Where? Westfield Fairgrounds, Westfield, MA

Why? to raise money for Canine Health Events and Research!

Join Southern Berkshire Golden Retriever Club for three exciting days of agility at the beautiful Westfield Fairgrouns, Westfield, MA. SBGRC has agreed to donate all of the net proceeds from Friday's trial, the two days of matches and from the raffles to CHE. In addition to two rings, there will be agility matches on Friday and Saturday evenings and daily raffles. We will also be selling tickets for this year's Super Raffles: a $250 gift certificate from Max 200 and two tickets for the July 16 Billy Joel concert at Shea Stadium.

Run for Research is dedicated to dogs that are facing or have been lost to cancer, genetic health problems or other maladies. All net proceeds from the Run for Research events will be used to support Canine Health Events and canine health research programs.
