PAWGUST Heads To Takapuna
Press Release – PAWGUST
This August, Kiwis are lacing up their walking shoes and joining Pawgust, a nationwide challenge supporting the guide dogs who help New Zealanders live life without you're walking solo or side-by-side with your dog, PAWGUST invites you to step outside every day in August and help raise vital funds for Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs. Participants commit to walking or running a set distance while gathering sponsorship from friends, whānau and local supporters.
All funds raised support the breeding, raising, and training of guide dogs. These incredible dogs give people who are blind or have low vision greater freedom and independence.
To celebrate the launch, we're throwing a Pawgust Kick-Off Paw-ty at St Maree Coffee Bar and Bistro, Takapuna, on Saturday 2 August from 10am–12pm.
Sign up for PAWGUST on the day to enjoy spot prizes and half-price coffee – or just come along to meet one of our amazing guide dogs, learn more about the challenge, and treat your pup to a free Pics Peanut Butter Pup Cup.
Bring your pup. Bring your whānau. Everyone's welcome!
Join us, have some fun, and help us change lives – one step (or paw print) at a time.
