Thank you for your interest in organizing a PAWSitive Impact fundraising special event for Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB)!
Your efforts are invaluable in helping us ensure that all GDB clients receive everything they need at no cost to them.

Special events have a suggested minimum fundraising goal of $10,000 and are executed with guidance on effective fundraising strategies from GDB. Once approved, GDB will create a special event webpage for you to use to promote your event, sell tickets, or register participants.

Special events require volunteers to manage the entire process, including recruiting others to help with logistics, securing sponsors, and promoting the event to meet or exceed fundraising goals.

To assist you better in bringing your event to life, please take a moment to fill out this questionnaire. A GDB representative will be in touch to discuss next steps
