We Need Dogs on Call Sponsors

CHAI’s biggest fundraiser of the year is the Dogs on Call Calendar.   These calendars are wildly popular and often sell out!

 

A pile of roughly 20 calendars is spread out on a table. The covers of the calendars are each from a different year, and the photos on the covers vary from nurses to patients to children, all loving on DOC dogs.

Since 2005 the Dogs on Call calendar has been CHAI’s biggest fundraiser.

 

Would you like to be a sponsor for the 2025 Calendar and support Dogs on Call?

Page Sponsors – For a tax-deductible donation of $500.00, you can become a Calendar Page Sponsor. Just send us a high-resolution copy of your logo or photo and any business information (address, phone) or short text that you would like included in your acknowledgement space. In addition to publishing the graphic in our calendar you also get ten copies of the calendar and a mention on the sponsor page our website.

Three small graphics are displayed: the first graphic is a logo for the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU and shows the outline of a child jumping rope, the second is a picture of a beagle with a heart and someone's name written over the small picture, and the last is a picture of two frenchie dogs next to two labs with the caption

Examples of some of our Page Sponsors from last year.

A young child is walking an even tinier tan Dogs on Call dog. The child is walking alongside the DOC dog's human handler whom is holding a second leash that is also attached to the dog.

Just because he’s very little, doesn’t mean that DOC dog Beckett doesn’t bring huge comfort.
