YQ: Sponsor a Bootie

During our spring sort-out we came across some of the booties from the "Sponsor a Bootie" fundraiser held during the Yukon Quest. All the "Bootie Funds" went directly toward the Quest organization. Each race team was asked to use these booties for the start in Fairbanks. We were allotted six booties with "Good Luck" slogans and well-wishes. One bootie said "Make us proud, Luke and Athena!" (Canine fans from Maryland.) Another bootie said "Good luck from Jade, Parker and Pearl! (English Setters from Michigan.) The booties all survived and found their way back to the kennel in Allen's return bag from Two Rivers checkpoint.



The booties were worn by Nacho, Chemo and Puppet.



We've sent the booties back to the sponsors as a memento and a thank you for supporting the Yukon Quest.
