Want to help SoCal Dogs in Need? The fourth annual SUP for a PUP is scheduled for Saturday, May 19th from 10am – 5pm. Newport Beach, CA-based sunglass company Kaenon Polarized, along with other fun companies including Becker brands Olukai, Hinano, Surftech, and Quickblade will be having a huge sample sale and animal adoption to help raise money for A Wish For Animals (AWFA). Wahoo’s Fish Taco will be selling food and drinks with the proceeds also going to AWFA.

AWFA is a 100% non-profit animal rescue for dogs and cats. Run completely by volunteers, they are able to provide funding to low income families who are unable to pay for large medical bills for their pets. Their mission is to help save as many animals as possible from suffering or death and find them wonderful homes to spend the rest of their lives.

Last year’s one-day SUP for a PUP event raised approximately $11,000 for the local animal rescue and 15 dogs found new homes.

If you’re thinking about adopting a dog, this is a great opportunity to find man’s best friend a great new home, and also score some great deals on premium products / apparel from local OC-based brands.

There will also be a raffle with a chance to win a standup paddleboard, eyewear, sandals and much more.  Admission is free for everyone and if you adopt a dog, you’ll receive a gift bag.  For more details, check out supforapup.com. For further information on AWFA, go to www.awishforanimals.org.
