We Can Make a Difference
While there is no doubt that The Dog is one stylish party animal, he is also a dog with a heart of gold...

Since the inception of the Hair O' The Dog back in 1995, different area charities have received generous donations thanks to the help of our sponsors and attendees.

To date, over $100,000 has been distributed to organizations such as PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society), Variety - The Children's Charity, CORA Services, Green Tree School, Sunshine Foundation, Bethesda Project, World Trade Center Relief Fund, Project H.O.M.E., Habitat for Humanity, the National Constitution Center, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Foundation, and the Friends of Memorial Hall Fund, Inc.

The designated charity for 2010 is Adopt-A-Pig.

Adopt-A-Pig charity which is based in Philadelphia. Adopt-A-Pig is a program designed to help children and their families cope as they face their greatest challenge, fighting cancer. Proceeds benefit a variety of support services for patients and their families. Pediatric cancer patients and survivors paint and decorate piggy banks, which sponsors adopt and begin collecting donations. When each bank is full, the change inside is counted and a check is sent to Adopt-A-Pig.

A portion of the proceeds from the event will be distributed to the charity. Please join us for this year's event and in helping one of Philadelphia's most remarkable local charities.
