Your Gift to Leader Dog Makes People Unstoppable

People from all over the world come to Leader Dog to learn the necessary skills for safe and independent travel with a guide dog or white cane. And while all of our services are free of charge, we receive zero state or federal funding, so your gift truly helps make people unstoppable!

Join us in celebrating 85 years, from our start in 1939 by three visionary members of the Uptown Lions Club of Detroit. Donate $25 and receive a limited edition Leader Dogs for the Blind 85th anniversary pin.

In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Thirteen years later, Lions Charles A. Nutting, Donald P. Schurr and S.A. Dodge led the Uptown Lions Club of Detroit in establishing a school to train guide dogs for people who are blind. Their motivation was Dr. Glenn Wheeler, a fellow Uptown Lion whose attempts to be accepted by another guide dog organization proved unsuccessful.

This year, Leader Dogs for the Blind celebrates 85 life-changing years in partnership with Lions everywhere.
