Southeastern Guide Dogs is hosting its first-ever Fort Myets Walkathon on April 11, 2015 at JetBlue Park. This event will feature a dog-friendly, 3K walking route around the fields, as well as a plenty of shade for our two- and four legged supporters. There will be live music, kid-friendly activities, and plenty of fun for the whole family. Most importantly of all, we will raise funds to help open new doors of independence for our graduates, and offer them our gift of the best guide dogs in the world. Get involved and share the puppy love. We have many different volunteer opportunities available, including logistics, registration, gift shop, and general setup and cleanup. To sign up, please visit: http://guidedogswalkathon.org/locations/fortmyers/volunteer-for-this-event
For more information, please contact Katie Morrow, Walkathon Specialist (941--479-6602, katie.morrow@guidedogs.org). We look forward to hearing from you!
