         9 years ago, Alex Hughes, now 12 years of age started the Annual Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Dog Wash. As all young kids, Alex wanted to have a Lemonade Stand but after seeing all the dogs in the neighborhood she and her mom thought of the idea of a dog wash.  Alex recruited her friends to help out and over the years it has grown and grown.  Each year, the kids have raised more and more money for GPAAS.  This event is GPAAS second largest fundraising activity.  Alex has about 30 kids and their families that come and help out. It is a great event that really helps animals in need.  Chief, Alex’s, 4 year old puppy from GPAAS will be on hand to help out and meet friends.

 

Please come and help us raise $2, 000.00 feel free to bring your dog, borrow a dog, or just drop off a donation !!!
