Ah, Memorial Day.
Hamburgers. Hot Dogs. Sunshine. Cape traffic.
Its a tradition and transition point to summer time. In the passion of embracing all of what is summer, it is easy to forget what Memorial Day is all about.
At Fenway Bark we have been aligned and supportive of NEADS, a Massachusetts charity organization that trains dogs for the deaf and disabled. One important program that is near and dear to our hearts at Fenway Bark is a program NEADS offers to provide working canines to injured and disabled combat veterans suffering either physical or psychological injuries from battle.
From Saturday, May 19, until June 3 we will be collecting donations for Canines for Combat Veterans. If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at the concierge (make check payable to NEADS), add a donation to your purchase at the front desk, or donate on line.
It takes approximately $25,000 in donations to provide one dog to a combat veteran injured in the line of duty. If we collect enough to purchase one dog for one veteran, we will be able to name the dog.
Make this Memorial Day truly in memory of those who have sacrificed and donate today.
