The “Poochapalooza” event raises funds for non-profit animal shelters and rescue groups in the Hudson Valley region. Gym Kids’ mission is to help homeless animals by providing needed items and funds for their care. All monies collected by the competition are used as a donation. Gym Kids pays for the event’s expenses. Over the past years Gym Kids have received wish lists from local shelters to include Kuranda dog beds, blankets, fencing for outdoor dog run, grooming sink, a Memorial Garden project, help with veterinarian bills, pet food and more.
