Their Legacy Continues

Dear Freedom Family,

Six weeks from today, we will gather to honor the two people who started it all.

Eric and Sharon Loori dedicated their lives to creating greater freedom, independence, and possibility for people who are blind or visually impaired. Their compassion and commitment built Freedom Guide Dogs and created a legacy that continues through every puppy raised, every guide dog trained, and every life changed.

Please join us on Sunday, October 25, from noon to 4:00 PM at Valentino’s Banquet Hall in New Hartford, NY for a special afternoon celebrating their lives and the remarkable legacy they left behind.

Whether you attend the luncheon, make a donation, become an event sponsor, or contribute a raffle basket to our Legacy Auction, your support will help us honor Eric and Sharon by continuing the mission they devoted their lives to.

Among the most special guests joining us at the Legacy Luncheon will be these eight beautiful puppies, who will be eight weeks old and ready to begin the next chapter of their journeys.

Each puppy will receive a name chosen in honor of Eric and Sharon, creating a meaningful connection between the legacy they built and the future of Freedom Guide Dogs. We cannot wait for you to meet them as they make their official debut on this very special day!

Leave a Legacy of Your Own

For more than 30 years, Eric and Sharon Loori devoted their lives to creating opportunities for others through the gift of a guide dog. Their vision reminds us that the greatest legacies are those that continue to change lives long after we're gone.

A planned gift to Freedom Guide Dogs is a meaningful way to ensure that future generations of individuals who are blind or visually impaired continue to receive the independence, confidence, and companionship of a professionally trained guide dog.

Whether through a bequest, beneficiary designation, or another planned gift, your legacy can help carry our mission forward for years to come.
