I’m Running for Israel Guide Dogs!

My name is Sadie Klau. For my bat mitzvah project, I’m running a 5K for a cause that is close to my heart!

I’m signed up to run the “Frosty 5K” on December 3rd here in Natick. I’m raising money for my bat mitzvah project for an organization called Israel Guide Dog. I’ve been donating to them since I was in First Grade (that’s over half my life!).

What It is

Israel Guide Dog raises and trains puppies to help people who are vision impaired, have severe emotional needs or have PTSD. Currently, Israel Guide Dog is spreading happiness with “puppy love encounters” to children, wounded survivors and evacuees. When I was in Israel, I was able to visit Israel Guide Dog located outside of Tel Aviv.

My Goal

My goal is to raise $1,800 (18 is a lucky number in Judaism symbolizing life). If we meet this goal, we will be able to “raise a puppy!” We will be able to provide food, medicine, and veterinary care for the puppy’s first year.
