Past Fundraising Events

Thank you to Big O' Bike Shop Charity!

Thank you so much to the Big O' Charity Bike Events for making Spotsy Dog Park their charity recipient for the month of February. They raised $3,300 with their amazing dinner events to go towards our goal of installing water in the park.

Thank you to Darin and Kerry O'Shields!

Darin and Kerry O'Shields have worked so hard raising funds so all our fur kids can have a Big O' drink of water! First, in February 2022, they raised $3,300 for the park. Then in May, they raised an additional $6,200 through the Bike Night Charity Raffle they conduct monthly for various worthy charitable organizations throughout Fredericksburg and the region. May's generous donation included $1,250 raised through an awesome Bike Ride through the County, past the dog park, ending at Angel Alpaca Farm. These are some really fun folks that are serious about raising funds for great causes.

Spotsylvania County has generously voted to help us cover costs related to water installation. Their generosity covered the cost of the permit and installation of the water main and connection fee. Awesome work for our pups!

Thanks to our sponsor Hinkle Concrete!

Thank you, Darcie Hood & family!

Another great addition to the dog park, part of bench #4 located under the pavilion on the large dog side, was donated by 3 donors! One being the Hood family. Thank you for the generous donation from Darcie Hood and Family, Charlie (RIP), Higgins and Draco.

Thank you, Greg Williams & Family!

Our park is AMAZING because we have people who really care about making the park the BEST there is. Our park is fully supported by its users. Spotsy Dog Park is not connected or funded by the county in any way, so everything you see at the dog park was either self-funded or donated.

Another great addition to the Dog Park, bench #2, is located under the pavilion on the large dog side.

Thanks to the generous donation from Greg Williams and Family and Daisy.

So remember when you are sitting on the benches, it is because one of our own was so kind to purchase it for the park.

Thank you, Kristi Walker Van and Paul Van!

You may have noticed the benches at the dog park have name plates on them. Each one was purchased in dedication or in memory of someone or their dog(s). Each bench costs over $500 each.

Without these benches, our patrons would have no where to sit while their dogs play. Another great benefit to our park.

This one in particular was donated by Kristy Walker Vann and Paul Vann in honor of their dogs, Kylo and Juma.

Thank you, Pruitt Family!

Thank you to the Pruitt Family for your donation of bench #3, located under the pavilion on the large dog side of the park. This is an incredibly thoughtful way of remembering your children (Lauren and Dean Sperry) and supporting the work they felt so passionate about. We will always be grateful for the support they have shown the Spotsy Dog Park over the years. They truly touched so many lives and your donation ensures that their legacy lives on.

Lauren and Dean’s lives were taken too soon.

Thank you, Kearn Knowles Jr.!

A HUGE shout out to Kearn Knowles Jr. for his hard work getting the entire small dog side aerated, lime application, fertilized, and seeded.…FOR FREE!!!!! Kearn contacted Gamez Sorto Tree Service and told them that we are a nonprofit dog park that is in no way funded by the county to see if they would be willing to donate their services. Gamez Sorto Tree Service (540-850-5737) agreed to donate the aerating and seed to the park. Then Kearn went one step further and reached out to Tractor Supply to see if they would be interested in donating the lime and fertilizer for the small dog side. Tractor Supply said yes without hesitation. So Gamez Tree Service offered to apply the lime and fertilizer as well for us. This is a huge win for the dog park. Last year the park had to pay $6,000 to have this all done to the big dog side of the park. Now keep in mind we are a donation-funded park, so for us to be able to save that money for other things at the park is invaluable.

Let’s show our appreciation to Gamez Tree Service and Tractor Supply by utilizing them for your future needs. And thank you again to Kearn for seeking out community resources for this project.

Also a huge thank you to Garcia Landscaping for donating a truckload of dirt to the park. Another community outreach by Kearn.

Thank you Kearn Knowles!
