Bark For Life turns Bell Works into a full morning devoted to dogs while raising money for the American Cancer Society. The 2026 event has a “Howllywood” theme, with an opening ceremony and walk, dog contests and a parade, photo opportunities, themed activities, vendors, and community groups throughout the morning. It’s lively and very dog-centered, with plenty to do even after the walk is over.
