Last year's Putting for Paws fundraising event was held in honor of owner Brad Dudley's beloved dog, Tyler, who had recently lost his life to cancer. This year's tournament will be played in honor of Crosby, Tyler's best friend who lost his life to kidney failure. All proceeds from the event will be donated to benefit the animals at the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, NH. Last year's tournament raised nearly $3,000 for the animals.

The fun filled event will feature a mini golf tournament, all you can eat pizza buffet, batting cages, raffle prizes and NHSPCA staff, volunteers and animals. There will be a doggie break area, and dogs are welcome on the golf course as long as they are on a leash. Bring a team of up to 6 people or come and join a team. Prizes will be awarded between 5:00 PM-6:00 PM. A $10 donation is requested per person. For more information about the event please contact Brad Dudley at (207) 439-PLAY.
