Greetings from Toby's Foundation, 

On behalf of Toby’s Foundation I want to thank you for your support in the fight against canine epilepsy. We cannot do it without you. You encourage and inspire us. Our supporters and our beloved dogs are the heart and soul of our mission to stop canine epilepsy by supporting the research that can lead to a screening test and more effective treatments for dogs suffering from this disease. We are grateful to work with you to help protect our dogs from this disease.

 

This year has been unprecedented in the number of grants and principal investigators.  In 2016 Toby’s Foundation co-sponsored 5 grants in addition to two other grants that began in 2014. These 7 grants involved 6 different principal investigators. There is more interest today in canine epilepsy and researchers are gaining a better understanding of this disease.      

 

Please help us continue the fight against canine epilepsy by making a year-end tax deductible donation to Toby’s Foundation. Your gift is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

 

We have succeeded in raising canine epilepsy awareness and supporting and encouraging canine epilepsy research. We are thankful for you. Thank you for standing with us .

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Warm regards,

.

Toby’s Mom
