Give to the Max Day 2025 - Double Your Impact for Helping Paws

We’re kicking off the season of giving by supporting our Four Paws Forward campaign—specifically our Blue Coat Academy (BCA), the in-house training program where Helping Paws dogs learn the advanced skills they need to change lives.

This Give to the Max Day (November 20, 2025), your gift goes twice as far thanks to a generous $5,000 match from Motorwerks BMW. Every dollar you give will be matched—doubling your impact on the future of our Assistance Dog program.

Your Gift at Work
When you give to Helping Paws, you’re not just supporting one piece of the puzzle—you’re powering every part of the journey.Your donation helps fund:

• Blue Coat Academy trainers guiding daily skill-building sessions

• Host Home volunteers providing care and consistency outside of class

• Training equipment, facility needs, and grooming expenses

• Volunteer support, including supplies and snacks for 175+ dedicated helpers

• Lifelong Graduate services, ensuring every match thrives together

Training and matching an Assistance Dog takes about 2½ years, requires 95,000 volunteer hours, and represents an investment of roughly $30,000—but the outcome is priceless.

The Impact
Your support helps create moments like these:

• A veteran sleeping soundly through the night for the first time in years

• A service dog turning on lights, opening doors, and restoring independence

• A parent with PTSD driving their child to school with new confidence

Together, we’re changing lives—one dog, one person, and one match at a time.

On Give to the Max Day, Helping Paws will once again transform into a winter wonderland—complete with photos with Santa! 🎅🐾Stay tuned for sign-up details on our website and social media.
