Registration is closing on Friday, Oct. 18 for the 43rd Annual William W. Winpisinger Charity Banquet! Join Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines (GDA | TLC) from Nov. 14 – 16, 2024, as they celebrate the extraordinary freedom and companionship of service dogs.
IAM Territories, Districts, and Local Lodges fundraise for Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines (GDA |TLC) throughout the year with events such as golf outings, clay shoots, motorcycle runs, and more. These efforts culminate in a large donation presentation at the end-of-the-year Charity Banquet. This year’s theme is “Happy Tails, Happy Trails.”
Go to the Banquet website for details.
The Charity Weekend will feature the Fremont Street Experience, which has two separate events: Gene Woods Racing Experience and Axehole Vegas.
There will also be a sporting clay shoot at Clark County Shooting Complex, a golf tournament at the Revere Golf Club, and a meet-the-dog experience called ‘Who Let the Dogs Out”.
Each event requires a separate registration.
Hotel rooms will be offered at the Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel (formerly Bally’s), and the banquet will be held in the adjoining Paris Hotel Ballroom. The dress code for the banquet is camping attire—flannels, boots, and jeans!
