Leader Dogs for the Blind Charity Partnership

Each year, 75,000 people become blind or visually impaired, but only 10% travel independently with a guide dog or white cane. Your gift makes it possible to introduce people from all over the world to life with a Leader Dog, our charity partner. Thanks to your generosity, all our services are provided free of charge.

Leader Dog is the answer for thousands who critically need our services. We, along with the Belle Isle New Year's Eve Run, believe every person deserves equal opportunity for travel and independence. That's why all of our services are provided at no cost, covering expenses for training, room and board, and travel to our campus from anywhere in the world.

People who are blind or visually impaired face challenges that many of us can't imagine. Leader Dogs for the Blind helps by offering white cane training and pairing individuals with guide dogs, providing the essential tools and support needed to regain independence, confidence, and companionship. This support can truly transform their perspective on life. Please consider donating to Leader Dogs to help continue this vital work.
