Dog-A-Thon 2021 @ Virtual Walk, Run, and Wag
Jun 26 all-day

Join us for the 2021 VIRTUAL Dog-A-Thon!

Every dollar raised makes a lifesaving difference for animals who rely on us for a second chance.

Whether it’s providing an animal with rehabilitation from cruelty and neglect, helping a family adopt a new pet or returning a companion to their owner, your participation helps make lifesaving work possible. You will also strengthen the crucial programs and services we provide to our community, such as low-cost/free spay and neuter and pet food for families in need.

In the coming year, the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County will care for nearly 10,000 animals in need! By joining Dog-A-Thon, you’ll help give each one a second chance they deserve.

Yoga at Lakewold Gardens @ Lakewold Gardens
Jun 27 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

In this busy and noisy world, finding space for peace, quiet, and connection can be a challenge. Like spending time in nature, yoga can foster peace, boost our mood, mental health, and emotional wellbeing, and nurture feelings of connection and unity. Delight in a tranquil balance with nature yoga in the beautiful sanctuary of Lakewold Gardens. On a grassy lawn encircled by champion trees, enjoy a Slow Flow that incorporates grounding postures with meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) to connect to the harmonious rhythms of nature.

Summer Yoga classes are for all levels of experience. No yoga mat or yoga clothes required. Dress comfortably and bring a towel if you don’t have a yoga mat or don’t want to get yours dirty.

Summer Soiree @ Lakewold Gardens
Jul 18 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

What could be more delightful than a summer evening under the trees at Lakewold Gardens, savoring a glass of wine with friends while enjoying the music of MusicWorks4Vets. John Selzer’s band enhances the quality of life for military veterans by hosting inclusive jams and encouraging participation in the music-making process. Partygoers will hear from artist Wes Davis, founder of Bedlam Arts, a group for veterans that encourages mindfulness through painting and creative expression in a social environment. Spirited and beloved art auctioneer Laura Michalek will entertain and encourage us to bid on beautiful art pieces donated by local artists. The Gardens are for healing and joy: be there to support the Gardens you love.
