Benefitting: Leader Dogs for the Blind
Coastal Pet Products, Inc. is excited to host the fourth annual Bark & Brew 5K on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at Aeonian Brewing Co. in Alliance, Ohio. This event benefits Leader Dogs for the Blind, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides guide dogs to people who are blind and visually impaired to empower them with lifelong skills for independent daily travel.
Coastal Pet is committed to enriching the interactions between pets and people, and that commitment includes partnering with organizations that share our passion. Coastal Pet has supported Leader Dog for many years, including the sponsorship of a puppy in 2023.
About Leader Dogs for the Blind
Founded by three Detroit-area Lions club members in 1939, Leader Dogs for the Blind empowers people who are blind, visually impaired or Deaf-Blind with skills for a lifetime of independent travel, opening doors that may seem to have closed with the loss of sight.
Thanks to the generosity of our dedicated supporters, all programs are provided free to clients, including meals and housing during training, travel and equipment.
Leader Dog programs are crafted to address individual situations and adapt to our clients' changing needs at any point in their lives. From youth camp to orientation and mobility cane training through guide dog training and GPS technology integration, Leader Dog's programs give clients the confidence and skills they need to live independent lives.
Leader Dog is recognized as a "Best In America" Charity by the Independent Charities of America (ICA).
