Fundraiser: East Peterborough Lions Club with Chemung Lake Lions Club present 5th Annual Local Walk-A-Thon in support of Leader Dogs for the Blind beginning at 10:30 am at Loblaw Real Canadian Superstore (769 Borden Ave., Peterborough, K9J 0B6). While Leader Dogs for the Blind is headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan, the organization has a significant impact in Canada, particularly in Ontario. Out of 948 guide dogs placed in Canada, 621 have gone to individuals in Ontario. Of the 38 Canadians served by the organization's Orientation & Mobility program, 29 were from Ontario. Additionally, 10 Canadian teens have attended the Leader Dog Summer Experience Camp in the U.S. Leader Dogs for the Blind provides all of its services completely free of charge thanks to individual donors, endowments, and fundraising events like this local Walk-A-Thon. Their mission is to empower people who are blind or visually impaired with lifelong skills for safe, independent travel. Cost: Donations will be accepted on-site, with 100% of proceeds going directly to supporting future Leader Dogs and the programs that train them.
