Running for a Cause

The TULSA DOG RUN raises money for Parkside's By Your Side Patient Assistance Program, which provides essential resources such as food assistance, clothing assistance, school supplies, and transportation for medical treatment to those in need. By incorporating dogs into the event, it not only adds a fun and engaging element but also reinforces the importance of pet companionship for mental health and well-being. The event brings together a community of dog owners and animal lovers who want to make a difference in the lives of others and their furry friends. The funds raised through the event can help Parkside continue to provide vital support to our indigent patient population, enabling them to access the necessities they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
