Our December 4th Hearing Dog Graduation and Holiday Party at the San Francisco Sports Basement was a huge success! Thank you to the graduates, board members, volunteers, and to everyone else in attendance. We all felt encouraged by the positive atmosphere and it reminded us all how much people believe in the work that we do. The raffle and auction were lots of fun―a big thank you to Tristan and Lynne Herkimer for entertaining us!
You helped us meet the $1,000 dollar-for-dollar challenge by raising $1,273 in donations, added to the generous $1,000 matching gift from our anonymous donor, for a total of $2,273! Your enthusiasm and support for the program is uplifting and a great reminder of how these dogs enrich their guardians’ lives.
