5K Family Fun Run
For Guide Dogs of America
Support the Guide Dogs Today!
Supporting guide dogs is a great way to give back to people with visual issues. Helping these people out gets them back on their feet by supplying them with a fluffy companion to help them get back to doing what they want to do.

What is Guide Dogs of America?
Guide Dogs of America is a nonprofit organization supported by individuals, foundations, corporations, and other generous organizations where all proceeds go towards guide dogs. Dedicated to providing guide dogs and instruction in their use, GDA depends on the dedication of volunteers to help those poor blind people get back on their feet and resume their lives.
Our Fundraiser
Now that you know about guide dogs, we would like to present our idea for a fundraiser to you. We are having a family fun run where all entry fee earnings will go to Guide Dogs of America. People would volunteer at water stations and booths to occupy runners before the race. All other details about this fun run are to be determined.
Why You Should Support
These people are in need just like many people they have a disability and can't do the things we do everyday. If you were blind wouldn't you want to have a companion at your side? Unfortunately, guide dogs are very expensive and many people don't have $42,000 lying around to buy a trained guide dog. You were created with good eyesight and you most likely don't understand what it is like, but if you couldn't even see your own parents wouldn't you want help? Don't you feel compelled to help these people who aren't as fortunate as you are?
