FOR COUCH POTATOES AND CASUAL WALKERS & JOGGERS...

Not into competitive running or racing?  No problem.  You can still be a part of the Scooter's Squad team.  Register yourself to take part in any fun family walk, fun run, pie eating contest, air guitar competition, polar plunge or other event of your choosing and tell everyone you're participating behalf of Scooter's Squad.

Don't like competitive events?  You can turn ANY opportunity into a way to raise funds.  Host a garage sale, dinner party where guest bring donations in lieu of a hostess gift, swear jar, or "jeans" day at the office to raise runds.  The possibilities are endless!

Your goal is the same - to raise as much as you can for DCACC's homeless pets - but without all the training, sweating and panting.  You're still welcome to reap all of the benefits offered to runners - fun runs, fitness clinics, team tshirt, Scooter Squad event participation, etc. - and there are special incentives to reward you for any extra fundraising efforts too!
