Gastineau Humane Society thanks particpiants of Run Fur Fun

Major thanks go out to our charitable partner the Alaskan Brewing Co. for their generous donation of beer and pint glasses for the event; the fine folks at Southeast Road Runners who assisted with race logistics and preparation; our enthusiastic and entertaining emcee Kevin Sellers; the kind and talented Mr. Pat Race who donated original artwork for our flyer; the wonderful folks of the Grateful Dogs of Juneau, who sponsored a free raffle and helped immensely with the after race poop patrol; as well as all our hardworking volunteers and GHS board members and our executive director who worked on putting the idea together and executing the plan on race day. Special mention goes to Kerry Howard, Megan Rider and Bree Wylie, who did the bulk of the organizing to make this a fun event for all. Of course, in the end the biggest thanks goes to those who came with or without their pets to support GHS’s mission to promote animal welfare and prevent animal cruelty and suffering. We hope to see you all next year!
