Doggy Dash 5K Walk and Fun Run
The Mayor’s Youth Advancement Council of Jonesboro presents Doggy Dash 5K Walk & Fun Run. The event is going to be held at the Valley View High School Parking lot.
This event is intended to get the public out with their best four-legged friends and to raise money for the exceptional community work that the MYAC and NAFA (Northeast Arkansans for Animals) Rescue do every day. NAFA is an all volunteer rescue that specializes in low-cost vaccination events and low-cost cat neuters, in conjunction with Jonesboro Animal Services.
Join the students of the MYAC by bringing your pup (or not) and participating in a 5K Fun Run / Walk for charity! If you cannot join us in person, become a virtual participant. We hope to see you there! This is not a timed event. Proceeds will be divided between the MYAC and Northeast Arkansas for Animals Rescue.
