We hope you will be able to join us on August 24th for this exciting and worthwhile event. The proceeds from this tournament will help Fidos achieve our mission to improve the quality of life for residents of the Baltimore-Washington community through the use of specially trained Hearing Dogs to assist individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and Service Dogs to assist individuals with a mobility impairment and veterans with PTSD. The Fidos Therapy Dogs visit patients in local health care facilities. In addition the Therapy Dogs participate in an exciting program called DEAR (Dogs Educating and Assisting Readers) that is a one-on-one reading tutorial program that teams a handler and a dog with a student who could benefit from this program.
We also invite you to become one of the event’s corporate sponsors.
