Looking for
a fun event to support Dog Guides? With the help of Lions Foundation
of Canada, the Walk for Dog Guides is a terrific opportunity to
help Canadians, and raise awareness about the activities and service
of your Lions Club. In
over 100 communities across Canada, Lions Clubs organize fun
walks to help raise funds for all three Dog guides programs: Canine
Vision Canada, Hearing Ear Dogs of Canada, and Special Skills Dogs
of Canada. Formerly known as the "Walk-A-Dog-A-Thon", local fund-raising
walks for people and pets have been held since 1985, raising over
$5 million for Dog Guide progams. For more information

Support from
Lions Foundation of Canada includes:
- A comprehensive
"Organizers Guide" with helpful hints and suggestions for a successful
event
- Timely Step
By Step Updates to prompt & to keep organizers on track
- Great
incentive prizes.
- Eye-catching
informative full colour pledge forms and posters
- A Team Challenge
for 4 or more co-workers to generate corporate interest
- Media support
including radio PSAs read by actress Sonja Smits and media releases
Participation
in the Walk is free, and the events are created with people of all
ages and abilities, with or without their canine companions. Fun events such as silly pooch contests help create a festive
atmosphere . With the growing awareness of Dog Guides' contribution
to people's lives, and the growing popularity of dogs as full members
of the family, this is a Walk that can appeal to, and build loyalty
among many. Lions Clubs
across Canada have responded enthusiastically to this event since
1985. If you would like to join Lions in this exciting fundraiser,
