Dog walk will benefit women’s athletics, orphaned pets

FROM RICE NEWS STAFF REPORTS

Rice is going to the dogs Oct. 31. Hounds and humans are invited to campus for the Howl-o-ween Dogathon, a benefit for Rice Women’s Athletics and a local dog shelter hosted by Rice Sport Management and the Women’s Athletics Advisory Board.

Families and their dogs will walk a portion of the inner loop and then enjoy activities after, including a costume contest for dogs and owners, autograph signings with Rice student-athletes, inflatable bounce houses for kids and dog adoptions. There will also be prizes, food and much more.

The walk begins at noon at Tudor Fieldhouse. Registration is $25 and can be done online at http://www.firstgiving.com/WAABRICE or the morning of the event. Free parking will be available in West Lot 4.

Donations are also accepted at http://www.firstgiving.com/WAABRICE.
