The importance of the Animal-Assisted Therapy program at Phoenix Children's can not be overstated. Scoot Education is hosting a fundraiser to support Volunteer Therapy animals like Caymus. Caymus and his owner, Michelle, spend one morning every week at Phoenix Children's brightening the days of the children at the hospital. They both do this on a volunteer basis. This crucial program only exists through donations.
Scoot Education is hosting an event, Scoot Let The Dogs Out, for you (and your dog) on Saturday March 11th from 11AM to 2PM at Superstition Farm in Mesa. Superstition Farm is a rescue facility for farm animals. The event will include an opportunity to meet Therapy Dogs, enjoy giving back to Phoenix Children's along with other donors and their dogs, bid on items at our silent auction, visit the petting zoo at the farm and have Tons of Fun! You can attend this event by making a $25.00 donation today. 100% of the ticket price goes to support the Animal-Assisted Therapy Program!
We encourage you to donate whatever amount you feel is right for you. You don't have to attend the event by any means. If you would like to donate items to our silent auction, or new toys for all of our 4-legged friends, please contact David at david.c@scoot.education. The important thing is ensuring the success of the Animal-Assisted Therapy program at Phoenix Children's.
