Help DockDogs® Chase Away K9 Cancer

ITS NEW…ITS EXCITING AND ITS FOR A GREAT CAUSE…DOCKDOGS® UNVEILS THE NEW JUMP-A-THON™ PROGRAM AS A PART OF THE 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!


DOCKDOGS® is embarking on an unprecedented journey that is the first of its kind! You are invited to join as a competitive team or as a strong supporter as the new DOCKDOGS® JUMP-A-THON™ Program is unveiled!

DOCKDOGS® is pleased to announce that the beneficiary of the 2009 DOCKDOGS® JUMP-A-THON™ is the American College of Veterinary Medicine (ACVIM) in support of our very own Official Charity…THE CHASE AWAY K9 CANCER FUND. Chase Away K9 Cancer is a fundraising campaign where 100% of donations directly support studies focused on canine cancer and are conducted by ACVIM Board-certified specialists.

DOCKDOGS® Worldwide member teams can register online by providing their team information and their current average jump score. Throughout the remaining 2009 DOCKDOGS® season, teams will collect pledges from friends, family, co-workers and major corporations. Pledge amounts will be based on the team’s top jump score from the 2009 Cabela’s National Championships presented by Royal Canin.

For example, if Joe and Fido achieved a top score of 15’2” (182 inches), and a donor pledged $0.20 per inch, the total pledge for that donor would be $36.40.

A running total of the projected funds to be raised will be displayed on the DOCKDOGS® website and teams will have the ability to monitor their individual team total pledges on their unique login page.

At the conclusion of the 2009 DOCKDOGS® National Championships, the ACVIM will distribute invoices based on the amount pledged and the top jump score for each individual team. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.

DOCKDOGS® goal for the 2009 Cabela’s National Championships presented by Royal Canin is to have 400 teams participate. If each team was able to raise $625, the total amount raised would be $250,000 at a single event! This amount may seem staggering at first, but when considering all of the resources; it becomes a very attainable goal. Teams are encouraged to contact friends, family, and co-workers, and to never underestimate the potential that other organizations and businesses have to match donations or make additional pledges.

To help make sure we do everything we can to achieve our goal, DOCKDOGS® is pleased to announce the following prizes for the Top 10 Teams that earn the most Pledges:

1st Place: Complimentary Entry Fees for any participation in 2010 National Events
