Join Travis Manion Foundation and the Cleveland Chapter for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Ruck in support of the Cleveland Animal Protective League (APL).

Participants will complete a 2-mile round-trip ruck, carrying donated supplies in their rucks or backpacks to the APL and delivering them directly to support animals in need. This is a great way to honor Dr. King's legacy of service while making a tangible impact in your community.

Please arrive at 9:00 a.m. The ruck will kick off at 9:15 a.m.

  • Cat food (especially wet food)
  • Dog food (dry and canned)
  • Dog Treats
  • Cat/dog toys
  • Teaser Balls by Jolly Pets
  • Large and X-Large Kong Dog Toys
  • Large and X-Large Nylabones
