Host a (Socially Distant) BARKE SALE!

WE'VE MADE COVID-RELATED CHANGES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE & HEALTHY!

What on earth is a BARKE SALE™?

You can make a difference in putting an end to the devastating cancers children and our four-legged best friends both develop! By hosting your own BARKE SALE with treats for both people and pets, you are helping Canines-N-Kids Foundation raise awareness and funds for critical cancer research that can result in better medicines and a cure!

Anyone, anywhere, anytime can hold a BARKE SALE and make a difference.  

A BARKE SALE is easy!  One person (even a kid), school or volunteer group, or a company can hold an event, and we are here to help you make it a success! Please email us or call 703-835-4346 with questions as you plan and hold your event. 

A BARKE SALE is fun! You can use your imagination – bake up a storm, make posters and more, or keep it simple. Most of all, have fun and know that you are part of an effort to put an end to cancer for kids and our canine best friends.

Just follow the simple steps we’ve laid out below – you will find everything you need!


KEEPING BARKE SALES SAFE & HEALTHY DURING THE PANDEMIC

During this COVID-19 era, we want to encourage BARKE SALEs that are as safe and healthy as possible- both for BARKE SALErs as for patrons.

We've put together the SOCIALLY DISTANT BARKE SALE GUIDELINES and other resources to help make your event a safe success, while still being educational and fun while raising critical research funds and awareness about how dogs and children share many of the same cancers.
