Since our inception, CFKA has been a significant contributor through various grants and initiatives to facilitate the training of our Service Dogs and growth of activities to support our mission.
The School Board has graciously offered the use of a school gymnasium for training purposes during the winter months when working outside is not possible. We are currently working with them on plans for “Four Legged Fridays” where we would see many of our dogs in training, attending classes regularly at their High Schools. The students in these schools would also like to take on some serious fundraising activities for us.
Fundraisers
In 2014 the Association sought us out and offered all of their proceeds for that year’s annual golf tournament to our cause. Their contribution was overwhelming.
It seems like every few months the wonderful people at MotoSport Plus hold an event to raise funds for our training program. Whether it is a customer appreciation barbeque, a new H-D model kickoff, or a Halloween party, we are the appreciative winners.
Thanks to John Reno and Brett Gambino for donating all of their proceeds from this wonderful concert at the Grand Theatre in Kingston in October 2014.
