King’s Day 1-Mile or 5-KM Charity Dog Walk/Run

Mark your calendars for an exciting King’s Day event as One Love Foundation and Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort proudly present their 3rd Annual 1-Mile and 5-KM Charity Dog Walk/Run, set to take place on April 27, 2024, situated at the Eagle Kids Park in front of Coco Loco Beach Bar. The walk/run will officially start at 8 AM sharp, but come early to enjoy a special stretching session led by Zoe Loefstok, founder of Beach Yoga Aruba, beginning at 7:40 AM sharp!

Join us as we come together in honor of Stimami Sterilisami dedicating this event to raising both funds and awareness for the foundation’s crucial national spay and neuter program designed to compassionately address the issue of stray animals on our island. The entire community, alongside their beloved four-legged companions, is cordially invited to participate in a morning filled with fitness, fun, and philanthropy. The event promises a morning of fitness, fun, and philanthropy, featuring not only exciting raffles but also two special prize categories:

• Best Rescue: This category honors a dog adopted from a shelter, celebrating the remarkable transformations these dogs undergo and their positive impact on new families. We encourage owners to share their inspiring stories via this link on our website: https://www.stimamisterilisami.com/submit-a-rescue-story. We will review these heartfelt stories together beforehand and select a winner.
• Best Royal Attire: Award the dog and owner duo that best dresses in a way that creatively represents Dutch culture or royalty. This could include outfits featuring crowns, capes, or traditional Dutch clothing like those worn by the House of Orange. Get creative with your interpretations of what royalty means to you and your pup!

For those without a furry companion but who still wish to participate, you can join the event solo or opt to volunteer and walk one of the rescue dogs from rescue organizations such as Luna Foundation, Sgt. Pepper’s Friends, the Animal Shelter and more, all of whom are invited to take part.
