Pooch Walk for the Homeless 2007

was on Saturday, September 22, 2007 at beautiful Lake Katherine Nature Center in Palos Heights.

To view the 2007 photos, www.franoutreach.org/photoorders.htm  Our thanks go out to Phil Marty for his fabulous photography skills. All proceeds benefit the programs for the homeless at Franciscan Outreach. If you'd like a reprint of a photo you purchased at the event, contact Carol directly.

What's a Pooch Walk?

It's a 1.5 mile walk around a scenic park with your dog that raises money to support our overnight shelter, soup kitchen, and case management services for the homeless. Even your dog can help the homeless! But you don't need a dog to participate. You can come without a dog, reserve an invisible dog leash, or even bring an inanimate object that resembles a dog! This is a great event for groups like families, youth groups, church groups, scouts, Small Christian Community Groups, doggie day care center teams, etc.  We have prizes for reaching various pledge levels. We can send you an info packet for your group.
