Yes, this is a Coats for Kids Drive. We are putting this event on for many reasons, 1) maybe some of those water loving dogs in santa cruz will join the Splash Dogs family, 2) keep kids warm by collecting coat donations, 3)have an excuse to be silly with some Halloween spirit, 4) another event in our area. there will be a costume jump on saturday, and a tennis ball jump on Sunday. you can visit www.stanford.edu/~annap/events for more information. There will be an on location news crew, as well as getting the word out on 2 radio stations, a newspaper, 2 news channels. and passing out 3500 fliers to all of SC school district. We are hoping to have an annual event on our hands.

OK everyone. We're trying our best to make the Coats for Kids Halloween Splash a HUGE event, so we have some media doing stories on Splash Dogs, and Dock Diving dogs. If any of you have short video clips of your dogs jumping, we are asking you to email them to us at classiccleaners609@sbcglobal.net They will be going on a news story. I know that the dogs have been jumping well these past few weeks in LA, so some of you must have cool video clips...Urs, we know you do:-) The clips don't have to be from a competition, as long as your dog is dock diving, it doesn't matter. Please help us out, and send lots of video clips. Thanks!

FANTASTIC.........the details only make this event that much more exciting to look forward to.

Dega & I love to make a difference, and will be collecting kids coats from co-workers, friends & family. In honor of Ms. Dega making it 1 year succesfully with 3 legs and being cancer free.

So many people in the Splash Dog Family have made the difference for Dega & I, there for we are all about PAY IT FORWARD.

There will be many children that can tell their friends their coat was given by a 3 legged Splash Dog.

Now...........other than making the coat donations, is there anything Dega & I can do to help out on Friday, Saturday or Sunday? We will be there all 3 days and will be in full Halloween spirit! Look for me in a pink wig! Lots of fun ahead.......

Send a PM if you want my personal info to help out.
Thanks again for the information and putting on this wonderful event.
Gianna & Ms. Talla Dega

Thanks Gianna for your support. Hopefully more people are as excited as you and I are. The event is only Saturday and Sunday, but we will be setting up on Friday. We are having agility demonstrations, and you can even try your own dog on the agility course. We are also having K9 and musical freestyle demos as well. There will be a costume contest as well as the third wave being a costume jump wave. We are still looking for dontaions for the tennis ball jump, but it's coming along nicely. We have a tax id number if anyone would like that, and so far we've gotten some pretty big prizes. There will also be numerous rescue groups, so hopefully we can help kids stay warm, as well as find some good dogs forever homes. Also, you bring a coat, and you get a free wave! (only one per dog). Our goal is 250 coats in 2 days, so hopefully we can blow that number out of the water! you can call me at 831-801-4557 if you have any other questions.

OK everyone. It's a month away, and we are still short for the tennis ball jump by about 20 prizes. We have some huge prizes, but still not the required 50. If anyone has anything they can donnate, or knows someone who might like to, please help out. We have a tax id number, so the donations are tax deductable, which may make some people more apt to donate. Please help! You can PM me if you need the id number, or would like to help us out.

Hi, Ashley & Beau and Everyone,

What do you need for donations? Can you post a list? Team Nicky is looking forward to this event in Capitola. Especially on Halloween - how fun!
Did you say something about costumes??? I MIGHT be able to talk the Nickmeister into that.....

We will take anything as far as donations. We are asking that it is at least worth $20, as that is the cost of the ticket to jump. We have gotten some great big prizes, and of course they cannot be broken up into multiple gifts. They can be doggie, or for humans. Some ideas would be, a wine basket, gift certificats to somewhere, doggie bath basket... It is TOTALLY up to the donors. We have a custom, hand carved surfboard being donated, and a hotel in SC is donating a honeymoon suite, and dinner for 2. Again, we will take anything that is donated.
Don't forget, bring a coat for Coats for Kids!

Ms. Talladega · #9 10-10-2009, 12:02 PM

Count down...........everyone! 21 days after today! Yeah......

That leaves us that much amount of time left to make the difference.

Don't know where we may be at in donations......however Ms. Talla Dega pledges 3 tennis ball gifts & 3 Coats. She has this "3" thing going on....don't ask why...LOL!

We have a fan base locally that we are requesting to match what we do, or even just 1 coat.

Dega & I look forward to contributing and making the difference from the Splash Dog Family.

Will be in touch via phone........
Gianna & Ms. Talla Dega
