Proceeds from the drop will help Community of Unity continue to fund its year round programming that has already been proven to have a major impact on their students' confidence and vision for their lives.

Marisa Zullin, Executive Director of the Community of Unity nonprofit said, "We love partnering with Dogpound because they believe so strongly in Community of Unity's emphasis on healthy habits and wellness. Dogpound's support has really shown our students that the wider community believes in their capacity to do great things and design their own future!"
