Bark For Life of San Francisco Event Date: Saturday, August 22, 2015 Event Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Event Location: Hellman Hollow 750 John F Kennedy Dr Contact:  Daniel Schneider at daniel.schneider@cancer.org

	Opening Ceremony The Opening Ceremony brings everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that while we are winning this battle, fighting cancer is a year-round priority.
	The Walk - Full 5k or Short Loop Your choice of walks in Golden Gate Park. A full 5k lap around out to the Polo Fields and back, or a short loop on the classic 1 mile course. Both are beautiful, and start and finish at the same location!
	Canine Activities and Contests After the walk is when the fun really begins, with music, a silent auction, fun canine games like musical sit, stupid pet tricks, a costume contest, and demonstration by the SFPD K-9 unit, Vader's World flying disc dog, and an agility challenge.
	Fight Back The Fight Back Ceremony symbolizes the emotional commitment we each make to the fight against cancer. The action we take represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community to fight cancer year-round and to commit to saving lives.
	Closing Ceremony The Closing Ceremony is a time to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of us has committed, through our participation in a Relay event, to fight back against this disease over the next year.
