Celebrating and Honoring

The beginning of summer marks three big days for us - our wedding anniversary (42 years!), my birthday June 1, and Ron's June 9. You know we love dogs so much, and we continue to miss our Gracie. But in her honor, and in honor of our triple hoopla days, we've decided to do a fundraiser for this extraordinary 50-year-old organization I have found. They breed, raise, and train dogs for older children and adults with all kinds of disabilities and for veterans. If a dog cannot be a service dog, he/she may be part of their breeding program, or be trained to be a therapy dog or facility dog. So many options, but they all are a reflection of a dog's ability to bring happiness and purpose to our lives, much like our Grace (and Mika, and Jenny, and Sally, and Rebel) did for us. Won't you join us in celebrating these incredible creatures?

Leading the way to greater independence!

Your support will help enhance the lives of people with disabilities through an expertly trained service dog.

I am raising money for Canine Companions® because I believe in their mission and appreciate the impact these exceptional service dogs have on the people they serve.

Did you know? Each Canine Companions service dog is specially matched with a person with a disability. The connection and bond that the team has is incredible! These dogs not only open doors, pick up dropped items and turn on light switches, they provide greater independence and an amazing life-time partnership.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal by making a tax-deductible contribution. Your gift will help open more doors for people with disabilities. Every dollar counts! Together, we can change lives four paws at a time.

Thank you!
