Autism Support Dogs (ADS) is part of BC & Alberta Guide Dogs and is a registered charitable organization: tax receipt will be issued for donations over $20.
Nevertheless, we are extremely proud that despite having been unable to hold our fundraiser this year, we have raised a total of $30,587, this amount includes an amount of $10,587 representing your incredible response to this year’s Lemonade Challenge!
The young Dolejsi siblings Theoren & Harlo raised $1,000 which is part of Lemonade Challenge total, despite Covid restrictions. Great job, thank you!
To date, the Schmelke Family Charitable Foundation has donated a remarkable $60,000 for the Kits4Kids Fundraiser towards the Autism Support Dog Program, and for that there are simply not enough words to express our gratitude.
It takes hundreds of hours of professional training and a significant amount of money for a new puppy to reach the standard necessary to qualify as an Autism Support Dog. The total cost is $35,000 but with our help the families only pay 1 (yes ONE) dollar when they are partnered with a child!
100% of all donations raised by Kitz4Kids goes directly to BC and Alberta Guide Dogs Autism Support Dog Program.
