We are raising money to support the K-9 Unit of the Saint Marys Police Department. They now have four working K-9’s . They have to raise 100% of all their money for the support and operation of the K-9’s. With your support of donations and sponsorships we can make this event very successful.

This event supports Camden Gymnastics, with 100% of proceeds helping young athletes cover state and national competition fees. Your participation directly helps local gymnasts chase their dreams — every step counts!
