Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB) Grad Champions Representation for People with Disabilities
We are constantly in awe of GDB client, actor, human rights advocate, and Fulbright Scholarship recipient Aria Mia Loberti who stars in the Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See. In a recent interview on Good Morning America, Aria continued to champion representation for the blind and visually impaired community.
There was plenty of sparkle and holiday cheer at our Holiday Celebration Fundraising Event held December 10th. Attendees -- both in-person and virtual -- enjoyed heartwarming client stories and adorable puppies and dogs. We also featured a new video that underscores the impact our programs have on clients’ lives.
It's not too late to make a donation to help transform more clients’ lives. All gifts help connect people, dogs, and communities so more individuals who are blind or visually impaired can live the life they want to live.
This holiday season, we’re shining the spotlight on our amazing Guide Dogs for the Blind community of volunteers and donors who are integral to our organization’s success.
