'Bark for Life' Event Happening in Rocky Hill

In the fight to create a world with less cancer, the American Cancer Society is holding a series of Bark For Life events across Connecticut — including one right here in Rocky Hill.

"Dog lovers all over the state gather to honor the care giving qualities of their canine friends in a walkathon," according to an ACS news release. "Since dogs are not permitted at Relay For Life events, Bark For Life gives those who view their dogs as support systems a chance to raise money for the fight against cancer."

Here are the details:
