Puppy Bowl Watch Party Weekend

SUNDAY: Puppy Bowl XXII Watch Party

Next comes the Puppy Tailgate and Cornhole ComPETition at McGregor’s Bar & Grill, Sunday, February 8 between 10:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (21+ only).

Attendees will be treated to a day of comPETition, canine themed food and drinks, and a cornhole tournament! Scroll down for the sign-up link!

1st place Prizes Valued at $300+ : Raising Cane’s gift basket, 4 Sesame Place Tickets & more!

2nd place Prizes Valued at $150+

10% of all food and drink consumption will be supporting the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center!

Viewers can cheer on Leo and Remy as they compete for the “Lombarky” Trophy. Athletic phenom Leo will be representing Team Fluff.

Expect to see a lot of big plays from the terrier-blend as he demonstrates his love of WOOFball on the world’s biggest stage. On the other hand, Remy is a ham for the camera. Though he doesn’t possess Leo’s natural athleticism, his charm and charisma is sure to bring Team Ruff’s WAGletes together in the locker room and get them revenge for last year’s loss.

It’s sure to be a game full of terrier touchdowns, puppy penalties and furry fumbles!

Puppy Bowl XXII will stream on discovery+ and air on Animal Planet Sunday, February 8 starting at 11 a.m.

No tailgate is complete without Cornhole!

To celebrate Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 7th consecutive year sending  talented pups to the World’s Cutest Game, we’re hosting a tournament for the true sport of kings and queens. Prizes will be generously supplied by Raising Canes and Sesame Place!

Cornhole is a Doubles-Style Competition. Registration is $16 per team.  

Puppy Bowl is almost here- and with it, comes an event packed weekend. Before the big kickoff, Helen Woodward Animal Center is giving animal lovers and football fans a way to unite and cheer on two special Helen Woodward Animal Center pups, while helping raise funds for orphan pets!

Helen Woodward Animal Center is delighted to invite animal-lovers and sports fans alike to celebrate the big weekend with two big events:

a Fundraiser & Cornhole Contest.

 

SATURDAY: Fundraiser @ Raising Cane's
