And They Pulled 4 Paws – 2023 Truck Pull

Apr 26, 2023

The rain and chill did not deter our 15 amazing teams from competing with all their might in the 2023 Pulling 4 Paws Truck Pull.

Team NEMLEC-K9 prevailed in the overall competition at Polar Park in Worcester. Congrats, 2023 Champs!

A shout out also to our Divisional winners: Redemption Rock Raisers (Redemption Trail Category), RetroFit Technologies, Inc. (Business Category), N V Fitness (Fitness Category), Monty Tech II (Military Category), and NEMLECK9 (Public Safety Category). It was an incredible effort by all.

The teams all pulled their weight in fundraising, too, with NEADS’ own Litter Mates (below) emerging as the top fundraisers. Raising nearly $6,600, this team far surpassed the suggested $3,000 goal. Congratulations, Litter Mates, and thank you to all our teams for pulling in such a big way to support our mission!

Thank you also to those who stepped up to sponsor the Truck Pull, including MA Homes, LLC (Presenting Sponsor); Polar Beverages (Truck Sponsor); Abaris Financial Group (Batting Tunnels Sponsor); Meet Boston (Music Sponsor); Monty Tech MCJROTC (Park Tours Sponsor); RAWZ Natural Pet Food (Timing Sponsor); and our Business Sponsors: Blue Buffalo; Curry Printing; The Black Dog; Enterprise Wealth Management; Leominster Credit Union; Kelleher & Sadowsky; O’Connell Plumbing, Inc.; and Reliant Medical Group.

Thanks also to the photographers who braved the rain to capture the event as well as the volunteers who assisted with registration, t-shirt distribution, and many other tasks.
