OUR IMPACT


Beyond the wagging tails and the "barking rights," this event has a deep heart. Over the past year, our community has come together through Pooch Playoffs to raise $2,800 for charity. This year, we are aiming even higher.


I am honored to announce that 100% of our session fees will be donated directly to Honey from the Rock: The Cleveland Foster Care Closet. The funds raised will go directly to creating their Sensory Room.


Honey from the Rock: The Cleveland Foster Care Closet exists to show the love of Christ by providing quality clothing and tangible goods to children experiencing foster care for free. We also serve birth families, youth in the Bridges program, children adopted out of foster care, and kinship placements.
