Dogs on a bun, fruit on a stick and women in hospitality - it's a week of prepositions and do-gooding in Dallas. Check out these events:
The Event: Dogs 4 Dogs
The Cause: Rockwall Shelter Pets
The Scoop: If you like dogs and don't care what kind -- big, small, purebred, mutt or slathered in mustard and relish, Thursdays are your day. The Candy Jar Malt Shop and The Platinum Pearl have joined the pack with Rockwall Pet Shelter to bring Dogs 4 Dogs, an event featuring live music and food every Thursday in March.
The Event: Mardi Gras Run at Galatyn Park Plaza
The Cause: Captain Hope's Kids
The Scoop: As participants cross the finish line on March 5, Blue Bell will be right there handing out their new Frozen Fruit Bars. It's good because running is fun and fruit is good for you. Especially if the running is for a good cause and the fruit is frozen and on a stick.
Captain Hope's Kids distributes more than 350,000 diapers to children in area homeless shelters each year.
The Event: Dames in the City
The Cause: Scholarships and support for women in food, wine and hospitality industry.
