Your gift today counts double

By Glenn Hoagland, President & CEO

Pictured to the right of a black Labrador retriever puppy is a thought bubble with the message “One dollar equals two dollars.  Make your gift today
when it will be matched!” and the Giving Tuesday logo.

It’s Giving Tuesday — a moment to pause from the hustle and bustle of the season to celebrate the causes that mean the most to us.

At The Seeing Eye, providing people who are blind with expertly trained Seeing Eye
 dogs is more than a cause. It’s our call to service — one we can answer thanks to the generosity of people like you. Today, I urge you to answer that call, too, by making your #GivingTuesday contribution. Thanks to a $50,000 matching gift from one of our generous donors, your donation will be instantly doubled.

Here is how Arshina, a Seeing Eye graduate, describes the transformative impact that her guide dog Godiva has had on her life:

“Godiva helped build my confidence. I’m not nervous about traveling on my own.” — Arshina



On its own, your contribution will make that same life-changing difference to someone who is blind. But once doubled, it’ll go twice as far in helping people like Arshina to navigate through life with enhanced independence. Make them your #GivingTuesday priority, when every $1 you donate becomes $2. Please be as generous as you can.
