Picnic and Puppies!

Join us for a fun family picnic and dog rescue benefit (complete with puppy cuddles), music, food, games, and more!

All are welcome; kindness is mandatory; bring your friendly and well-behaved doggos on a leash as well!

Enter through the tunnel with the blue, white, and green mosaic, which has a sign for Bolingbrook Town Center. We are behind the building around the pond!

REGISTER TODAY! Admission is by love donation (a pay-what-you-can model). We don't want anyone to be excluded!  Please choose the appropriate age range and whatever amount is comfortable for you.  We are grateful for all of the community support; any amount helps!

All those who choose to make a love donation will receive a swag bag at the picnic - just show ID or bring your ticket printout. Please consider a  non-perishable food or diaper donation if you want to donate but are currently low on funds. We will deliver all items donated to a local food pantry. Entries made with pantry donations also qualify for a swag bag. Please choose the relevant ticket type so we can get enough supplies.

We also have a free option for those for whom cost is a barrier.

For corporate donation opportunities or personal donations over $100, please email bolingbrook.pride@gmail.com for details.
