The TULSA DOG RUN raises money for Parkside’s By Your Side Patient Assistance Program, which provides essential resources such as food assistance, clothing assistance, school supplies, and transportation for medical treatment to those in need.
By incorporating dogs into the event, it not only adds a fun and engaging element but also reinforces the importance of pet companionship for mental health and well-being. The event brings together a community of dog owners and animal lovers who want to make a difference in the lives of others and their furry friends. The funds raised through the event can help Parkside continue to provide vital support to our indigent patient population, enabling them to access the necessities they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
This program allows our patients in need to receive the following at no cost:
- Non–perishable food and personal hygiene items for themselves and family members.
- Clothing Assistance
- Treatment Transportation
- School Supplies for Kids
- Books to encourage reading and feed active minds!

About the weather:
While we realize that each of the By Your Side run participants has made a tremendous commitment, the primary goal for the event staff is to ensure a safe and fun event for everyone. Therefore, the race staff will make decisions about the race cancellations/modifications based on the safety of all that are involved – this includes the participants, the volunteers, the spectators and pets. The race staff reserves the right to cancel or to modify the race if deemed necessary due to potentially hazardous conditions. It is the intent of the race staff to host a rain or shine event, however potentially hazardous conditions including thunderstorms, wind, hail or lightning may force cancellation. These conditions will be recognized as unforeseeable acts. Since the staging of the race results in substantial up-front expenses regardless of whether or not the race is completed, cancellation of the race will not result in the refunding of race entry fees or future race credits. Race staff will be on site and you can visit about weather considerations with them. Please watch weather conditions yourself and make informed decisions.
