16th Annual Doc Stanley Memorial Walk

September 19th, 2009
Registration runs 8:30 am - 9:15 am

The Doc Stanley Walk is one of the biggest fundraisesr of the year for the Humane Society of Barron County and this year we are aiming to make it our most succesful fundraiser ever!! Last year's walk raised around $3500 and this year, we're aiming for $5,000! Please come join us for a fun filled morning of scenic walking and special prizes!

The walk starts in the north end of the Goodwill parking lot in Rice Lake, WI at the Cedar Side Trail trailhead. Goodwill is located behind the old Wal-mart right off Hwy O across from Adventures.

Goodwill so graciously donated us the use of this part of their parking lot for the morning for registration and parking for our event.

After checking in, walkers will journey down the beautiful Cedar Side trail. The walk is approximately 2 miles long including the loop back. Walker's can chose to turn around earlier to make the walk meet their abilities. The walk will conclude back at the Trail Head, where there will be refreshments for humans and dogs alike. When a majority of the walkers have finished the walk, we will be making the annoucments for drawings and prizes. Prizes will be given to the Top Three (Possibly Top Five) Pledge Raisers as well from drawings for early registration and the wishlist raffle (see below)

This year, we have some GREAT prizes from some great sponsors!

  • Hotel accomodations at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, including lodging and waterpark passes for four
  • Gift Certificates for several great stores
  • Overnight stay and buffet for two at the St Croix Casino

    Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend the walk. You need not have adopted from the animal shelter and you don't even have to have a pet!! In fact, this year, you can reserve a shelter dog to walk for the event if you'd like! Even if you are unable to raise money by getting pledges, we still welcome you to come participate in this great event!!

    Animal shelter t-shirts and additional walk t-shirts will be available to purchase after the walk. We will also have some adoptable dogs participating in the walk with our volunteers - who knows,maybe you'll meet your next best friend??.

(Do not mail us your pledge form unless you are unable to attend the walk. We'd love for you to collect pledges right up to the day of the walk!)

    Wishlist Raffle

    Taking care of 13+ dogs and 40+ cats on a daily basis, we go through a lot of supplies. Between totally cleaning every cage every day, two square meals a day, treats, and lots of paperwork, some stuff we go through around the shelter like it's water. So we've added another way you can win prizes at the dog walk! For every item that you bring to the walk from our Doc Stanley Memorial Walk Wishlist, your name will be entered in a drawing to win great prizes! (To be fair, some items on this list are worth 2-5 entries instead of just 1)
