Do it for the dogs

Help raise money for the Quad-City Animal Welfare Center, or QCAWC, at the Seventh Annual Disc'n For Dogs Ace Race at Camden Park, Milan, Ill., Saturday, Sept. 10. All proceeds go to the QCAWC.

The Disc'n For Dogs Ace Race is for anyone who can throw a disc golf disc and wants a shot at our top prize! Camden Park's original disc golf course's elevation changes and wooded areas are used to their fullest with 26 shortened holes, increasing the hole-in-one opportunities. Most holes average 100 feet or less. Unlimited mulligans, sold for $1 each, will increase the odds of qualifying for the final round.

Pre-register for the 7th Annual Disc'n For Dogs Ace Race at Iron Lion Disc Golf Supply in Moline (2630 16th St). If you want a t-shirt, you must pre-register! Also, if you'd like to upgrade to the dri-fit shirt, there is an additional charge of $5. IF YOU DO NOT PRE-REG, YOU DO NOT GET A SHIRT!

Day-of registration for the Ace Race opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 9 a.m. in the lower bowl near Camden's sixth hole. The entry fee is $20. Preregistered entrants are guaranteed a player's pack containing a Disc'n For Dogs t-shirt, plus other items. All players are welcome regardless of ability. A basic disc golf putter is optimal, but a standard backyard flying disc could be used.
