Purple Poppy Walk for Animals & the Surfdog Ricochet Statue
This Nationwide Walk for Animals is being held locally on May 10, 2025 from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM at Lake Murray Park. The National Service Animal Memorial (NSAM) is hosting this event and money raised in San Diego will go to the creation of the SurfDog Ricochet* Legacy Statue. NSAM’s mission is to build the first monument in our nation’s Capital as well as create a statue here in San Diego to represent the human-animal bond and all service animals and their handlers past and present. *SurfDog Ricochet and owner Judy Fridono passed away in 2023 and we are dedicated to ensuring their legacies lives on. They inspired millions and dedicated their lives to help kids and adults with special needs, active military members, veterans and those suffering with mental and physical health challenges.
