Registration has no minimum, but an entry of $25 will get your pet a bandana, a donation of $50 will get you a bandana and a t-shirt and a donation of $100 or more will get you all of that plus a beach towel with the logo. There will be water stops along the way as well as “Beach Photos” by professional photographer Images by Sara, complimentary for all teams and individuals participating in the walk.
