The “Lion King’s Puppies” – the origins

The name “Lion King’s Puppies” originated at a house party – and the true meaning of the origins shall remain with those who were at that party, but suffice to say;

“We Came, We Hunted and We Conquered”

Although the Lion King’s Puppies group was only formed in 2009, we have already contributed 3 teams to the 2009 Cancer Council’s Relay for Life and raised in excess of $2,000 in just six weeks. We plan to do more in 2010.

These are exciting times.

The People – The most beautiful aspect of the Puppies are the PEOPLE who are involved. They GIVE their time so generously, sacrificing domestic, family or work time to make a wonderful contribution. It’s a true inspiration being with them.

The Teamwork – probably the most important ingredient the group can have. Eager, willing, dynamic, committed and inspirational are just a few words that immediately come to mind when you meet the Puppies.

The Partnerships – it is important the Puppies provide a basis and a platform to develop, foster and encourage partnerships with individuals, groups and even corporations who have like interests.

The Focus – the balance of 2009 and the 1st quarter of 2010 will no doubt expose the group to a new common drive, both personally and as a group. Setting goals, interfacing and interacting with the community – to be leaders in common purpose, leaders in community relations, leaders in teamwork and to inspire not only those within the group but everyone they come into contact with for the common betterment.

The Future Directions – Clearly focusing on providing the community at large with equitable equality and transparency in fundraising, in human relations and in support for the suffering of all men and woman in their times of most need.

We remain dedicated to raise awareness about body issues, health and well being. In particular breast cancer awareness.

So, we will be regrouping in the coming months to determine a schedule of activities for the coming year, with a focus on making a real impact at next years' Relay for Life event.

How you can help? Easy. Commit to dedicate time to help raise awareness about body issues, health and well being.
