Race to Raise: A night to support retired racing greyhound adoption
2026 date: Saturday, March 7th 6pm - at Pinstripes in Edina
2025 Update: What a successful event! We raised just over $20,000. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Please join us for Greyhound Pets of America - Minnesota's largest annual fundraising event of the year! Let's come together for a fun evening as we Race to Raise funds, giving these fast friends a running start to their loving new families!
GPA-MN is a 501(c)3 registered nonprofit organization whose mission is to find responsible loving homes for retired racing greyhounds in Minnesota. We are an all-volunteer-run greyhound adoption group, which means every cent raised goes directly to supporting the greyhounds in our care, including ever-increasing veterinary expenses, transport from out of state (and out of country!), and day to day fostering needs until their adoption. Since our inception in 1989, we have placed nearly 2000 greyhounds into loving homes in Minnesota and surrounding areas. With your help, we will keep on running!If you would like to donate an item for our silent or live auction, please contact us at: events@gpa-mn.org
