Charity Boot Camp August 8th (Sac SPCA)

On Thursday, August 8th @ 7pm, we’re coming together for a charity fitness boot camp workout to help local animals in need – and we need your help!

Specifically, the Sacramento SPCA is currently in need of support of their foster care program – there are hundreds of animals in this program, with many more to come.

Our quarterly charity boot camp efforts are growing steadily and collectively making a big impact in the local community – and it’s all because of YOUR continued support!

We’ve even teamed up with Land Bark Pet Supplies next door to offer attendees of the event some special goodies and discounts.
