We are the Toronto Green Capes Lions Club
How We Got Our Name: Our foster pups are Super Heroes who start out wearing Green Capes!
What We Are: We are a virtual special interest club dedicated to supporting Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides through fundraising and service.
Who We Are: Our members are active supporters of Dog Guides. Collectively we have fostered over 100 puppies — investing many hours in socialization, good manners and obedience to prepare them for their service dog training. Members include fosters, grads, and supporters.
What We Do: Our yearly major initiative is our Green Capes calendar. We generate revenue through direct sales, online voting and through other organizations sales support.
How We Help: Our donations help raise, train and place Dog Guides which costs approximately $25,000 per dog with no government support.
We have raised over $200,000 since our Charter in 2018
