Our Raffle & Community Support
Our fundraising raffle is another way to take part in the weekend. Contributions from exhibitors, members, and businesses help make it possible, and we’re grateful for every donation.
LRCSC promotes Labrador health, welfare, and responsible ownership through education and club activities, including encouraging adoption and responsible rehoming of adult Labradors. Funds raised help support these efforts.
Would you or your business like to contribute? We welcome raffle prizes, gift certificates, dog supplies, and items for exhibitor awards. Product bundles, travel experiences, grooming equipment, and outdoor gear are all welcome ideas.
Donors will be thanked at our raffle display, on our website and Facebook, and on our large printed sponsor thank-you banner. In 2026, our specialty had 80 Labrador entries, with 2,370 dogs entered at the overall show.
To arrange a donation or discuss sponsorship, contact Michael Kovach at bark@lagunalabradors.com or 619-517-5640.
