Events


Every year, the Guide Dog Foundation hosts several special events. In addition, we are fortunate that many civic and charitable organizations host special events for our benefit; we receive a portion of the proceeds.
 
For more information about attending an event, being an event sponsor, or hosting an event to benefit the Foundation, please contact Susan Sabatino, Special Projects Coordinator, at 631-930-9000 x1120. You can learn more about hosting a fundraiser of your own by clicking here.
