We love supporting local charities, especially when we get to participate in fun activities for a good cause — like a morning of paddling on the lake! On Sunday, August 23 you’re invited to head out to Lady Bird Lake for the 4th Annual Paddle for Puppies. Hosted by Austin Subaru, this fundraiser benefits the Austin Pets Alive!’s parvo program. You’ll travel down the 5-mile course by kayak, canoe or stand up paddle to raise funds for pups in need.
