The South Shore Guidance Center, part of the EPIC Family of Human Service Agencies, recently held its 2025 Spring Fling Dog Walk for Mental Wellness at Cow Meadow Park. The event drew families, elected officials, and their four-legged companions to support mental health services on Long Island, raising over $10,000 to date.
“Each year, our Spring Fling Dog Walk proves just how deeply this community values mental health,” said Lisa Burch, MPH, CEO/President of EPIC. “There’s real power in showing up for one another, especially in such an inclusive way. These funds directly support services that change lives, and we’re grateful for every person who shared in this mission and attended.”
Held during Mental Health Awareness Month, the event featured a scenic waterfront walk led by Grand Marshals, the Escobar Family from Sunday Maintenance Services. Attendees also enjoyed family-friendly activities including raffles, games, face painting, and live performances by local student groups.
