The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is an event that honors the caregiving qualities of canine companions and remembers those dogs/owners that have lost their life to cancer. By supporting Bark For Life, you can help the American Cancer Society save lives, helping us move closer to a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
Funds raised at the Bark For Life of Kenosha will also support the Relay For Life of Kenosha’s fundraising efforts. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration in which individuals and teams camp out and take turns walking the track and raising funds to fight cancer. At nightfall, participants light hundreds of luminaria candles around the track in a moving ceremony to honor cancer survivors as well as friends and family members lost to the disease.
