Service Dogs Saving Lives is proud to participate in The Giving Challenge—a 24-hour, community-wide event supporting nonprofits across Sarasota and surrounding communities. 
From noon to noon, April 15–16, donations of $25–$100 to Service Dogs Saving Lives are matched—turning your generosity into twice the impact, twice the hope, and twice the healing through a service dog.

24 Hours to Make Double (and Triple) the Impact

NOON TO NOON • APRIL 15–16

During the Giving Challenge:

  • Donations $25–$100 are MATCHED 1:1
    Thanks to the generosity of The Community Foundation and strengthened by The Patterson Foundation
  • The first 25 $100 donations are TRIPLED
    → Your $100 becomes $300 with the support of a very generous anonymous donor.

Every gift—no matter the size—helps place life-changing service dogs with those who need them most.
