Sponsorship Opportunities

The Purina Walk for Dog Guides is held in over 200 communities across Canada. This multi-site Walk is the only one of its kind in Canada. Walks are organized locally by members of Lions clubs, thousands of volunteers and Dog Guide graduates. The Walks are designed to be accessible to all abilities and everyone including dogs are welcome to attend. Every year new communities come on board to organize new Walks and our existing Walks continue to grow in participation and fundraising dollars.

Sponsorship of the Walk is vital to our success. With sponsors offsetting all of the expenses, all donations raised by the Walk go directly to the raising, training and placement of Dog Guides for people with disabilities. Lions Foundation of Canada works to create a relationship that is mutually beneficial for its corporate partners.
