Big Paws Canine is proud to be partnering with the CVMA 34-3 Combat Veterans of Myrtle Beach.  This joint partnership will be hosting a Poker Run on October 22, 2016 for the benefit of local Horry County Veterans and First responders.

Enjoy a fun day riding throughout Horry County for the Pistons & Paws Poker Run.  Registration is only a $10 donation for bike, cars or trikes and begins at Harley Davidson in North Myrtle Beach at 10am (kick stands go up at 11am).  Pre-registration can be done on-line at www.BigPawsCanine.com to guarantee your shirt size.  We will make our way to the Big Paws Canine Facility in Aynor, down to Bucksport Marina, over to The Coop in Conway.  We will end the day at the Beaver Bar in Murrells Inlet where they will donate lunch and provide the space for live music, raffles and the announcement of the winning poker hand.

23/65 Campaign:  Big Paws Canine recognizes that a minimum of 23 Veterans take their own lives each day; that’s one every 65 minutes.  We have lost more Veterans to suicide than during the entire course of most wars.  One life lost in this way is too many.  It is the mission of Big Paws Canine to do everything in their power to offer our Veterans and former First Responders an alternate source of support, comfort, and assistance to help them in the battles that they face now that they are home.
