MEMORIAL & DEDICATION WALL
-BUILDING GDA'S FUTURE TILE BY TILE-


 

Your personalized space on GDA's Dedication Wall will help support new projects and existing programs at the school!

In honor of Guide Dogs of America's 60th Anniversary, we have set a goal to complete the tiling of our Dedication and Memorial Walls. By personalizing a space on our existing wall, you will be helping to support new projects as well as current programs at the school, which include continuing to build our breeding program, funding off-campus emergency veterinary treatments, and making kennel improvements. Your lasting tribute can be personalized with your name, your pet's name, special dedication and/or memorial etched on tile. We encourage you to make your contribution to the future of GDA and help us meet our goal of completing these walls during this special anniversary year.

Custom Motorcycle Winner Gets His Prize!

Pictures just in of Denny Dawson from Minnesota with his new custom bike and the People Choice Award trophy from a recent bike show. The glow of winning must be keeping him warm because from the snow in the background, it looks like it may be a while before he gets it on the road!

Here's GDA president, Jay Bormann and Denny
(grinning from ear to ear with his new ride!)
