Bloomfield, CT (PRWEB) November 04, 2016 -- Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation announced that the organization has received a $23,000 donation from the Allied Printing Services Charitable Foundation 9th Annual Golf Tournament to support its life-changing guide dog mission.
Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization based in Bloomfield and Wilton, Connecticut that promotes increased independence to men and women who are blind by providing them with exceptionally-bred and trained German Shepherd guide dogs.
Fidelco is proud of our partnership with the Allied Printing Services Family. The funds received from the Allied Printing Services Charitable Foundation Annual Golf Tournament help Fidelco provide its elite guide dogs and world-class services to blind citizens in Connecticut and beyond.
