2025 GRRMF Calendar Submissions

2025 GRRMF Calendar

It’s that time of year again!

We’re beginning to think about and plan for the 2025 GRRMF calendar and we are in search of festive furry friends to feature.

What is it and how do the proceeds help?

Annually, the Golden Retriever Rescue of Mid-Florida (GRRMF) crafts a unique calendar available for purchase each autumn. The sales directly fund the medical care of our cherished canines. What makes our calendar extraordinary is the spotlight on our success stories: every featured dog has found a forever home through GRRMF.

We cherish holiday-themed photographs, so we encourage you to capture snapshots your furry friends during Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We also welcome seasonal images showcasing the beauty of Florida—or your beloved getaway spots—throughout the year.

When is the submission deadline?

  • Submission deadline is July 15, 2024.
