Gathering of golden retrievers charitable event March 5 in Mesa
The third annual Gathering of Golden Retrievers is 10 a.m.-1 p.m. March 5 at Gene Autry Park, 4125 W. McKellips Road in Mesa.
This is the first year a charitable component has been added to the event, Renee Bellefeuille said in a release.
“I reached out to Dogs4Vets, a local organization which helps disabled veteran train their own dogs to become certified service dogs. I hope to collect donations of collars and slip leads since that is what they mentioned they always need. I think pairing charitable events with fun get-togethers is a great way to bring awareness to local organizations that do so much good,” she said.
