🐾🚙 THE 4TH ANNUAL DOG DASH IS BACK! 🚙🐾
Grab your leash, your family, and your four-legged best friend, because Psi Chi at UT Martin is throwing its biggest Dog Dash yet! 🎉
💛 Why we dash: Dog Dash started as a fundraising idea from Elizabeth Butler, then-president of Psi Chi. When Tabi Essary, the shelter director who founded her shelter to rescue dumped dogs, passed away suddenly, the event became a tribute to her spirit. Every year since, we've carried her love for animals forward, and we now raise money for local animal shelters across our area. 🐕💕
