About K9COLA
 K9COLA (K9 Citizens for Off-Leash Areas) is a volunteer group that supports the development of off-leash parks in the Cedar Rapids area. Tax-deductible donations to K9COLA help pay for an electronic newsletter to keep you informed about upcoming events, fundraisers, changes in Park policies, and park etiquette reminders, as well as dog training and care tips and ideas. The money is used to add Park improvements and amenities, such as benches, trees, shelters, and dog toys. The K9COLA group offers many volunteer opportunities, and works to educate the public through pamphlets, handouts, and public events such as parades, presentations, and information tables at local retail stores and dog-related events. |
