The 7th annual Wasatch Waddle is coming! Join UFBH on March 13th to waddle in the St. Patrick's Day parade! Once again, we will be waddling approximately ten city blocks (through the Gateway shopping area downtown) Salt Lake City, Utah. Marching bands, floats, horses, dancing troupes and other civic groups will be represented.

Attire

We ask waddlers to wear something in keeping with a St. Patrick's Day theme; shamrocks, derbies and of course, lots of green! (Please make sure that at least one person in your party is wearing the 2010 Waddle t-shirt. The more people in our Waddle t-shirts the more attention we get!) Your hound(s) will be given a 2010 Wasatch Waddle bandana and we ask that the bandana be worn over their collar or tied on the leash so that it is visible. Entrants will receive a doggie bag of goodies, including a clean up bag; please use them if necessary.

Breakfast with Bassets

Come early and join us for a light breakfast! UFBH will provide free beverages and food for registered participants. And if you are worried that coming early will tire out your hound before the Waddle...Fear Not! UFBH will still provide a Pooped Pup Pick-up Truck for the tired or senior hounds and their owners.We also encourage you to bring your own wagon or lawn cart if you feel your hound can't walk the entire way.

Bring Your Pledges

Our fundraising goal for 2010 is $15,000! We know the goal is lofty, but we are sure you can help us reach it! Just remember that all the money benefits the homeless hounds!

If you are stumped for how to raise pledges, think about the things YOU make that people love. It might be cookies...offer six cookies to each person willing to pledge $10! This is just one idea of many!

To really make a statement, consider creating your very own fundraising web page with Firstgiving.com. Setting up your fundraising web page is FREE and it's very easy. Just click on the orange "Start Fundraising" button. (Click here to view a sample.)
