CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF NAGDU by Cruising into the Future!

National Association of Guide Dog Users

7-Night Caribbean Group Cruise

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) has partnered with Cheryl Echevarria, a member of NAGDU and Owner of Echevarriatravel.com, to sponsor a 7-day Caribbean Cruise for the benefit of NAGDU. For every person booking passage on this cruise, $25 will be donated to the National Association of Guide Dog Users with a matching contribution of $25 from Echevarriatravel.com. 

The National Association of Guide Dog Users is a special interest Division of the National Federation of the Blind for people who currently use guide dogs as mobility tools, those considering getting a guide dog, or those who want to learn more about guide dog use. One of NAGDU's major projects is the establishment of a national toll-free education and advocacy hotline that will provide on-demand access to information about guide dog use, including state and federal laws that protect the civil rights of service animal users. This hotline will also afford callers the ability to speak with a specially trained volunteer advocate to help resolve access issues. All Proceeds from this cruise will be used to support this innovative service and other valuable programs of the National Association of Guide Dog Users.
