By Julie Hutchison | President, Co-Founder and Chelsea's Mother
We are proud to let you know that we just provided our 59th seizure-response dog grant. We cannot express our gratitude for the generous support you have provided.
The Chelsea Hutchison Foundation (CHF) is a leader in providing grants for seizure response dogs and in placing monitoring equipment in the home, allowing families throughout the country access to a service they may otherwise miss. When formed in 2009, CHF was the first organization in the United States to provide grants for seizure response dogs, and continues today to provide the highest level of funding amongst other organizations.
In addition to our Globalgiving campaigns, CHF holds two major fundraisers each year. On, May 2, 2014, we will hold its annual gala at The Curtis Ballroom located at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Village, CO. This year, our theme is Comedy for Canines and our headliner for the evening will be Kevin Fitzgerald, best known for his 10 seasons on the popular Animal Planet show, Emergency Vets. Kevin is a great comedian and his passion for making people laugh is surpassed only by his unwavering dedication to all creatures great and small. If you are in the area, we would love you to join us. For more information or to register, please visit www.ComedyforCanines.org.
Every fall, the Chelsea Hutchison Foundations hosts STOMP! (formerly Chelsea's Epilepsy Walk for SUDEP Awareness), an epilepsy walk for Epilepsy and SUDEP awareness. The fundraiser is currently held in six cities across the country (Littleton, CO, Wichita, KS, WInchester, VA, Woodbridge, VA, Eldon, MO, Northfield, IL), and expands to new cities every year. Nine to ten cities are expected to be added this year alone. Watch for details. There may be an organized walk near you!
Thank you again so much for your continued support! You are making a big difference
