<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Hello Gotham. </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt">I was thrilled to hear my name and organization called last night. Thank you to all the donors and matchers who led to the Season of Giving having a record-breaking
year. I\u2019m proud to be part of this tribe that does so much good for so many. Canine Companions for Independence provides service and assistance dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities as well as facility dogs to qualifying organizations.
All the dogs are provided free of charge to the recipient. </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:black">My family and I have been volunteer puppy raisers, foster dogs, and have assisted and raised funds and awareness in other capacities for over twenty
years. It\u2019s amazing to see the impact these service dogs have on the lives of their recipients.
