On Sunday, November 22, 2026, our team will be taking on the Philadelphia Marathon!

We aren't just running for a personal best; we are running to support Canine Companions, an amazing organization that provides expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities—all at no cost to the recipients.

Why Your Donation Matters

It takes nearly two years to expertly train a Canine Companions service dog in over 45 specialized tasks, such as retrieving dropped items, opening doors, and pulling wheelchairs.

Your support helps:

Fund Training: Every dollar goes toward the breeding, raising, and professional training of these life-changing dogs.

Ensure Independence: These dogs provide their human partners with the confidence to navigate the world more independently.

Keep it Free: Because of donors like you, Canine Companions has never charged a client for a service dog since they began in 1975.

How You Can Help

We’ve set a team goal of $15,000 and we would love your help to get there. The money we raise helps amplify the impact of Dogfest D.C. 2026 and makes a monumental difference!

Whether it’s $10 or $100, every bit helps us reach the finish line at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and, more importantly, helps a future service dog reach their partner. Please click the "Donate" button on this page to make a contribution.

Thank you for supporting our journey and this incredible cause!

Go Team!
