Don't forget to stop by Jared's Dog Park today and support the CMAK Foundation while enjoying some cold lemonade, snacks and homemade treats for your pup! 3 - 5 PM.

07/23/2024

Visiting the park this Thursday with your pup? Drop by between 3 and 5 PM for a glass of lemonade, water or soda and baked goodies, chips or candy from Grady's Lemonade Stand! All proceeds benefit the CMAK Foundation, which provides athletic camps and preschool scholarships to communities in Connecticut and nationwide, in honor of Chase Kowalski - one of the first grade victims of Sandy Hook.
Grady is a local 11-year-old competing in the YMCA's Race for Chase kids' triathlon to benefit CMAK on Aug. 3. Participants train at the Stratford Y every day for six weeks free of charge before the event, which brings together kids from YMCA branches all over Connecticut in Southington. This is his fifth year, and each year he has held his lemonade stand to raise additional money for the CMAK Foundation, receiving a personal thank you note for the last two years from Chase's mom and dad in Newtown.
We are happy to be hosting him at the park on Jul 25 from 3 - 5 PM, and hope you'll come by with a little spare cash to put towards a worthy cause while enjoying some lemonade and goodies ...including homemade treats for your pups! Everything is $1 - $2.
