Canine Companions
The NADA Foundation’s Frank E. McCarthy Memorial Program (named in honor of a former NADA CEO) benefits Canine Companions, a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs and ongoing support. Both organizations share a commitment to personal freedom of mobility. That's why for nearly 25 years, the program has generously supported Canine Companions’ Veterans Initiative and ongoing placements with children with disabilities.
