The specially bred and trained dog, training of the recipient, and regular follow-up services by Canine Companions for Independence professional staff are provided to its recipients at no cost for the working life of the team. To all graduate teams, sponsors, participants, and volunteers who attended the 2009 ARFTD, the georgia CCI volunteers say, "THANK YOU"!
Despite wet conditions, everyone seemed to enjoy the run,walk, and games. your spirit reflected the CCI graduate teams can do spirit.
The 2010 AFRTD is scheduled for saturday, september 25th, same times,same place. we sincerely hope 2010 will be better for everyone, and that circumstances will allow you to continue your support of CCI.
Last year's ARFTD , despite tough times, allowed us to raise $5,000 dollars for CCI'S misson. this was due to the generosity of long time sponsors and participants.
THANK YOU, we look forward to a successful ARFTD fund raiser in 2010!
