Dear friends,

As some of you know, I recently began giving my time to Canine Companions, an amazing organization that provides expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities, and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice, and education settings—free of charge.

This year, I am raising funds in support of Canine Companions and their signature 2026 fundraising event, "DogFest", because I love dogs and know the joy they bring to our lives every day, and I strongly believe in the organization's mission. To further show my commitment, I am also joining the Canine Companions team to run the 2026 Philadelphia Half Marathon this November!

I would like to ask for your support by donating to my fundraising efforts. Every dollar I raise will go toward the breeding, raising, and professional training of these life-changing dogs. They provide their human partners with greater independence and confidence, and thanks to donors like us, Canine Companions has never charged a client for a service dog since 1975.

It costs thousands of dollars to raise and train one of these incredible animals, and your donation will directly help someone waiting for their perfect canine match. Please click the button below to give.

Donate now!

Thank you so much for your support of Canine Companions and the important work they do!

Lisa
