Community Fundraising 

Thank You for Choosing the Guide Dog Foundation for your Fundraising Event! Would you like to create your own fundraising page? More supporters are choosing to fundraise online. Many choose to create a page as a tribute to their loved one or in honor of their own birthday. If you would like to create a custom online campaign page, please click on Create Your Own Fundraiser below.

Our Community Partners
Through the efforts and generosity of our Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis and American Legion Clubs, we are able to continue to provide guide dogs and training - free of charge - to people who are blind or have low vision.  Thank you for your willingness to donate your time and service to us and those we serve.
