DockDogs is launching a brand new fundraising program around their 2009 National Championships and Chase Away K9 Cancer will be the beneficiary of this year’s program. Visit www.ddjumpathon.com for more information and thanks to DockDogs for their unwavering support!

A vital part of our mission is to educate and inform the public about veterinary specialty medicine and how to provide the best care possible for their companions. The Chase Away K9 Cancer brochure highlights the campaign and provides some general information about cancer in dogs. "Empowering Pet Owners-Finding the Best Healthcare for Your Companions," covers areas such as: How do I find a good veterinarian? How do I prepare for the veterinary visit? When should I seek a specialist? This brochure was created by a group of pet owners with the aim of helping people more easily navigate the world of veterinary medicine.

Hundreds of dogs and their handlers gathered from October 12-14, 2007 in beautiful Rogers, MN for the 2007 DockDogs National Championships. Heather Ratynski, ACVIM Director of Marketing and Operations, had the pleasure to attend the championships and meet many of the DockDogs community who have been so supportive of Chase Away K9 Cancer over the past year. What she witnessed for three days was a joy to see: dogs and their people having a grand old time. If you've never seen a DockDogs event you need to check it out!

The DockDogs community is full of many warm and generous people, and this was demonstrated on Saturday night at their annual banquet and awards ceremony. Grant Reeves, CEO of DockDogs, invited Cera Reusser (the brainchild behind Chase Away K9 Cancer) to hold a silent auction at the banquet to benefit the ACVIM Foundation and to support canine cancer studies. The DockDogs community responded in droves-many people donated wonderful items for the auction and/or had winning bids on them at the banquet. Between the auction and individual donations over $10,000 was raised for Chase Away K9 Cancer! This event brought the grand total for Chase to over $100,000!!

The fact that most of this money has been raised and donated by individuals (often one dollar at a time) is what makes this campaign and its supporters so special.

We can't wait to see what the 2008 DockDogs season brings and again, we thank everyone who attends these events and supports Chase Away K9 Cancer. You are the best and are truly an inspiration!

July 2007

Through her efforts at local DockDog (www.dockdogs.com) events and thanks to the largest private donation ever received by the Foundation, this fund has grown to over $63,000!! Last month, Foundation staffers Heather Ratynski and Paula Mejia were pleased to FINALLY meet Cera Reusser, the force behind the Chase Away K9 Cancer Campaign, in Seattle, WA. Much to their surprise, Ms. Reusser presented the Foundation with a $50,000 check from Penny Knight, wife of Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, Inc. Ms. Knight has also lost two beloved dogs, Otto and Bogey, to cancer and wants to support our investigative efforts. The gratitude the Foundation feels toward Ms. Reusser and Ms. Knight cannot be expressed and showcases the power of one person with a passion to make a difference. So far this campaign has raised more than $63,000 for canine cancer studies.

It is our pleasure to announce that the Stephen Huneck Gallery is producing a special limited edition print of the Chase Away K9 Cancer artwork. This artwork was originally created to be the "face" of the campaign and is also available on t-shirts and sweatshirts.

Now you can own an original Stephen Huneck and help us fight canine cancer at the same time! 25% of proceeds will go to "the Chase" and you may choose to have Stephen personalize your print.

Don't delay! For more information and to order your print, click here.
