ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS:
GreySave tries to have two large social events annually. These events are lots of fun, greyt for community togetherness and pretty nice as a fundraiser. There are usually 200 to 250 people and at least that many greyhounds at these events. We hold the events in May and October. We call the May event Race to the Park and the October event Oktoberfest. Please do come and join us for one of these Greyt events.
GreySave's October 15th - Oktoberfest event!!
