Meet Team Prince & Paige — a devoted volunteer duo with a shared mission of spreading comfort, care, and connection throughout our community. Prince, a Guiding Eyes for the Blind release dog, and I work together to support causes close to our hearts, from helping future guide dogs grow and thrive to offering emotional support as a certified therapy team with The Good Dog Foundation. Our work is rooted in compassion, and we are proud to make a difference — one paw at a time.

As a dedicated volunteer for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, I support the Yorktown and Patterson campuses. I assist with key administrative tasks at Yorktown that keep operations running smoothly. At Patterson, I provide hands-on care for the breeding dogs essential to the guide dog program’s success. I also open my home to puppies and dogs in training, offering them a nurturing and supportive environment to prepare for their future roles.

In addition, Prince and I serve with The Good Dog Foundation as a certified pet therapy team, primarily volunteering at Westchester Medical Center, especially in the Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley. Together, we bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to patients and their families during life’s most challenging moments.

The WAGATHON is a cumulative marathon that you and your dog can do anywhere, at your own pace throughout the month of September. The goal is to hit 26.2 miles by September 30th – all while raising critical funds to support Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s mission to provide guide dogs to people with vision loss. It’s an opportunity for people and dogs alike to stay active and do good.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind changes lives by connecting amazing people with extraordinary dogs. For individuals who are blind or visually impaired, a Guiding Eyes dog means freedom, confidence, and the opportunity to experience all of life's adventures - big and small. From Home Training to Specialized Training to Running Guides and more, Guiding Eyes' pioneering programs are individualized to each student. Together, these dogs are paired with just the right student - and both their lives are forever changed. You can be a part of this life-changing mission by making a donation today!

Thank you for your support! - Prince & Paige
