The Paws for Ethan campaign is in full swing, and on August 30th, Giant Tiger and Timothy Ross and Associates are teaming up to deliver some tasty snacks in an effort to help Ethan get one step closer to his service dog.

Ethan is a fun-loving seven year old local boy with autism. His family was recently pre-approved for a service dog through the wonderful organization Kingston 4 Paws Academy. Though their mantra is to never deny anyone service, families are asked to help with fundraising for the training and integration of the service dogs.

These service dogs can cost up to $18000.00 for training and development, and that's why Timothy Ross and Associates, and events coordinator Leigh Bursey have jumped on board to help ease this family's burden. $18000 is a hefty bill, but with the support of a wonderful community like Brockville, we can get there in no time.

Fundraising activities have already begun, and each day Ethan is getting closer and closer to his goal, while also helping us become educated on the challenges that autism can create. His family is working closely with us to help create a successful campaign.

Giant Tiger has become one of the premiere destinations for charity barbecues in Brockville. After months of collaborating on a number of worthwhile causes, our local Giant Tiger department store has offered to help us in our mission, by providing product and a host location for this opportunity.

T-shirts, wristbands, and food will all be available for purchase. As will tickets to the November 8th Jimmy the Janitor Paws For Ethan fundraising event, coming to the Highway Church. Or you can just stop by and make a donation. Either way, we would so love to see you there!
