Destin hosted its first Bark for Life event on Saturday at the Morgan Sports Center. Bark for Life is a community event affiliated with the American Cancer Society; created as a way for dogs and their owners to raise money for cancer research.
Much like Relay For Life, the event encouraged teams to walk a track and engage in other fundraising activities throughout the day such as raffles, dog races, and doggie fashion shows to name a few.
Event organizers told The Log that about 300 people turned out for the inaugural event.
