Blaine Cotton and Christine Bowe, agents affiliated with the Newport Beach office of Coldwell Banker Realty, have partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Newport Beach to host “Bark in the Park,” a free community event, on Saturday, July 31 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. To be held on the front lawn of the Boys & Girls Club, located at 2555 Vista Del Oro in Newport Beach, “Bark in the Park” will be an afternoon of fun for families and their dogs, featuring local businesses giving away food and prizes.
“We are very excited for families in our neighborhood to see our newly renovated club and to learn about the many programs we offer school-age children in their community,” said David Blair, director of corporate relations and cause partnerships for the Boys & Girls Club of Newport Beach. “Most importantly, we want them to know that this is their club and that we are doing a lot to overcome the impact of the learning loss that the pandemic caused.”
At the event, Dr. Bruce Whitaker, DVM, from Newport Hills Animal Hospital, will talk to residents about their dog health free of charge. “Bark in the Park” was made possible thanks to sponsorships from The Pet Oasis, a local natural pet products store, Surfers for Strays, a non-profit organization with the mission of reducing the stray animals in Mexico, Bark City, a dog daycare and boarding facility, and Mutt’s Newport Beach, a neighborhood family-owned restaurant.
“The Boys & Girls Club is such an important organization for the kids in our community, but many people are unaware it is here,” said Cotton. “We think ‘Bark in the Park’ is an excellent way for The Bluff residents to experience what a wonderful organization the Boys & Girls Club is and have fun and talk to their local pet-related businesses about their other important ‘child’ -- the family dog!”
After “Bark in the Park,” the Boys & Girls Club will host its annual Back-to-School Campaign throughout August, which aims to provide backpacks loaded with essential school supplies to children starting the new school year.
