After weeks of dedication to their training (and by training, we mean getting pets and treats) the big day finally arrived. Over the weekend, the Corgi Bunch joined nearly 100 other corgis and raced their tails off – figuratively, not literally – at Emerald Downs’ Logic20/20 Consulting Corgi Races. While none of the Corgi Bunch made it to the final race, they did raise $10k for the Alzheimer’s Association through The Longest Day.

Throughout their PAW-blicity tour that took place over these spring and summer, there were able to help raise awareness not only about this exciting event but also the impact of Alzheimer’s and the community resources the Alzheimer’s Association provides. And on race day, they were able to share those resources with another 9,000 event attendees.

There are 120,000 people living with Alzheimer’s in Washington and 300,000 unpaid family caregivers. There’s still time to give either through the Corgi Bunch’s Longest Day page or text SOLSTICE to 51555, and enter CORGI at the prompt to donate. Many thanks to Boris, Daphne, Harrison, Hugo, Milo, Rally and Tesla (and their humans) for their support of the Association. Watch this space for more information about where you can view the races on ESPN or at one of our local viewing parties.
