9-17-13 - The NCR volunteers for the Chicago DogFest need your help.
As of 9-13 we are still looking for a 1) business to donate tables and chairs for the event. If you know of any company or organization willing to make a 100% donation that would definitely help with Canine Companions $20,000.00 fundraising goal. 2) Face-painter who will donate his/her services. It was a hit last year, and we hope to do it again this year. 3) Business(es) to donate giveaway items for our gift bags, along with gift baskets and items for our raffles and costume prizes. 4) A canopy with sides for Snoopy to rest and have privacy when he's not doing photo ops. 5) Business to donate DogFest T-Shirts. It would be nice to have a remembrance of our 20th year! Finally, exhibitor(s) - If you have a business you'd like to promote, the DogFest is a great place to do it and the Naperville Park District will permit rescues/non-profits to put out a donation jar. However, vendors still cannot sell anything. If you or anyone you know can help fulfill any of these needs, please contact us via our e-mail and we will connect you to our DogFest Co-chair. Thanks!

8-13-13 - Team Chally’s walking in Canine Companions DogFest Walk ‘n Roll again this year because we love dogs, and we believe in Canine Companions for Independence. We'll join other dogs and their owners for a day of fun and festivities. This pet friendly event features a 2-mile pledged walk route with trick-or-treat stops along the way, a raffle and a costume contest for both humans and dogs. Leading up to the event we’re raising money to support Canine Companions and we need your help. If you've been around us at all or visited this site you know that the impact CCI and their dogs make on the lives of people with disabilities is incredible, but what you may not know is that CCI trains and places their $45,000 dogs completely free of charge to a recipient in need and they do so without the help of government funding, relying only on fundraisers and the generous support of people like you. With your help, we raised $1,394 for CCI at this event last year. Please consider helping us raise money once again, to help give someone else the gift of independence. Help us get to our fundraising goal by donating online at Amy's personal page. If you do the giving, we'll do the walking so we can get more of these amazing Canine Companions assistance dogs into the lives of those who need them. As always any donation you make to CCI is tax deductible. Thank you for your continued support of CCI and team Chally!
If you want to get involved in the fundraising effort, you can help us out by joining our team and collecting pledges. Ask your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to support CCI and the work they do. Remember to mark your calendars for Saturday, October 19th from 10-2pm at the Naperville Riverwalk Grand Pavilion. We'll be there giving a demonstration of our working commands.
