Fundraising idea: Hold a skijoring race

To establish an emergency fund for our patients most in need, we host a community skijoring (dog-aided skiing) race each year. We recently held the third annual Darby Dash, named after our practice owner's dog that died at a young age. We've set up different divisions for skiers, a kids race, and a costume contest. The race also benefits our local humane society. Many community members donate prizes, and we usually have a great turnout.
