Canine Companions for Independence enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly-trained assistance dogs and support. While CCI provides the dogs free of charge, it costs more than $45,000 to train and place each assistance dog. To provide this important service, CCI relies on the generosity of its supporters and you can join this group of supporters on September 27.
The Chicago satellite of CCI will hold its annual Snoopy DogFest Chicago even on Saturday, September 27 at Hollister Incorporated. Snoopy DogFest features a 2 mile fun-walk for you and your dog, vendors, family and pet activities, demonstrations, food and a live auction. It's sure to be a fun day for you and your furry family but don't forget to practice your best tricks and dust off the Halloween costume.
You can walk as an individual or form a team, but don't forget to collect pledges to help this important cause. There are prizes for the top pledge earners, including the opportunity to name a CCI puppy.
Event registration will begin at 10:00 A.M., the walk will begin at 11:00 AM followed by activities and demonstrations at 12:15.
