Gold Coast fans and dog lovers will get the chance to meet some of the pooches from Assistance Dogs Australia when the Titans host the Storm at Cbus Super Stadium this Saturday.
Joining forces with principal partner The Lottery Office, the not-for-profit organisation supporting people with PTSD, physical disability, autism and requiring educational support will be the Round 13 charity partner with a number of initiatives taking place on game day.
Assistance Dogs Australia will have an information tent located outside Gates C and D with a number of their amazing staff members, volunteers, ambassador dogs and assistance dogs in training.
There will also have representatives around the stadium selling 50-50 raffle tickets with all proceeds helping support dogs who transform lives.
The Lottery Office CEO Jaclyn Wood is delighted to collaborate with the Titans and help support such a vital charity doing great work in the local community.
"We're incredibly proud to support Assistance Dogs Australia as one of our charity partners and join forces with them and the Titans this Saturday," she said.
"The work they do is absolutely life-changing, helping people gain independence and confidence through the support of their amazing dogs.
"At The Lottery Office, giving back to our local community is a big part of who we are, and we’re proud to offer the opportunity with the Titans to support such a fantastic organisation that makes a real difference in people’s lives."
Volunteer carers needed in SEQ
Volunteer puppy carers for Assistance Dogs Australia are needed on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Ipswich and in Brisbane, to raise dogs full-time for the first 22 months and give them the best possible care in a home environment.
Raising an Assistance Dog is so much more than raising a cute puppy - it’s raising the next generation of highly trained, accredited dogs who will go on to help people with physical disabilities, PTS and autism.
