In Hopes of finding a way to tie Mary-Anne Gillespie's passion for training and giving back to the community together. The Training Department led by Mary-Anne at KWO has found a wonderful way to do both through training! One of their recent guest speakers, Ben Kinney happily agreed to auction off a dinner combined with a coaching session. They raised $1200 for that dinner; The Rushforth Team was the winning bid just barely outbidding the Pilon Hamilton Team. The training department gave $600.00 to KWCares and the other $600.00 to a charity close to Mary-Anne's heart; The Ottawa Humane Society. Through their Buddy and Belle fundraising initiatives you are able to actually donate the funds to a specific cause and animal. On behalf of KWO, Mary-Anne selected a wonderful little dog called Bailey to help with his surgeries. Below you will see his story, the amount they donated on behalf of KWOttawa and of course......he is up for adoption so maybe we can find this little puppy a home for Christmas.

The Ottawa Humane Society thanks the wonderful agents of KWO for giving not only in our community but for thinking of them with such a wonderful donation!
Thank you to everyone who supports these training events. Being able to do this creates a wonderful new purpose to training that we will carry into 2010. Feel free to share the link with your clients, friends, families and peers! It is a wonderful way to spread the word that we truly Care in our Community.
