This year's 39th anniversary is a festive event, with a gourmet luncheon, guest speakers, featuring a keynote address by GDB alumnus Tom Kowalski with his guide dog Dynamo. Local volunteer puppy raisers will be introduced to the puppies that they will prepare for their journey to become guide dogs. All proceeds will go directly to support GDB so it can continue to provide qualified guide dogs for their 2,200 blind and visually impaired clients throughout the U.S. and Canada at no cost to them.
