What is The American Cancer Society's
"Bark For Life?"
The American Cancer Society Bark For Life, “Bark For Life” (ACS BFL) is a full American Cancer Society Relay fundraising event that honors the care giving qualities of our canine “Best Friends”. Monies raised contribute to and are included in the annual Relay For Life event total.
Canine Caregivers are Canine Companions, Guide Dogs, Service Dogs, Rescue Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Police Dogs, Cancer Survivor Dogs, and Diagnostic Dogs, who with their owners, are joining the American Cancer Society as Relay teams and participants to celebrate cancer survivorship, to honor people lost to cancer, to fundraise in support of cancer research, education, awareness, patient services, advocacy, and to help eliminate the suffering that cancer causes worldwide.
Canine companions represent unconditional love, joy, security, compassion, and no judgments of human abilities or appearances. Bark For Life is an irresistible way to “take a bite out of cancer”, smile, and make new friends canine & human.
