Founded in 1975, Canine Companions for Independence® is a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships.Help us celebrate another year of transforming the lives of adults, children and veterans with disabilities, by making a donation to our silent and live auctions. Our assistance dogs not only help their human partners with tasks such as picking up dropped items and opening doors, but provide the constant companionship and love only a dog can. One hundred percent of the funds raised from the live and silent auctions will enable us to continue to provide our services free of charge. We anticipate 800+ guests including nation board members and executive team traveling from all over to attend the company's biggest celebration and fundraiser of the year. The evening will be filled with delicious food, wonderful entertainment, a silent auction and wrapping up an incredible evening dancing the night away to a live band. The Tales & Tails 23rd annual Gala is sure to be the event of the year at the Orlando Rosen Shingle Creek.
