Outdoor Mat Pilates for a Cause

Outdoor Mat Pilates for a Cause

Hosted by @calkiwi22 and @the_unstoppable_ranch 

Join us at Buccaneers Beach Park for a short and peaceful Mat Pilates/stretch session surrounded by furry canine cheerleaders who will be ready for some love, attention and interaction with you. Proceeds go to the support of an even more powerful mission: expanding, rescuing and rehabilitating other abused and neglected dogs. You’ll have the opportunity to interact, walk and love on these babies who have been so lucky to get the second chance they so deserve. 

By Donation – Pay What You Can

All proceeds go to Unstoppable Dogs, helping expand and rescue more pups, rehabilitation costs and safe sanctuary that allows healing from their trauma.

Move your body. Open your heart. Support a life-changing cause.
