About WAGS 4 Kids

All proceeds from The Mac 'n' Cheese Throwdown benefit Working Animals Giving Service for Kids (W.A.G.S. 4 Kids) training mobility, autism & mental health service dogs for kids with special needs throughout Ohio since 2004. They have hosted educational programming for children across 8 districts, additionally participating annually as guest speaker at the CSU School of Nursing. As the ONLY 501(c)(3) organization in Ohio that exclusively provides service dogs for children up to the age of 18, they provide a lifeline to families with nowhere else to go in seeking an animal that is custom-suited to their child's needs. It is thanks to you that we celebrate our achievements and only thanks to you that we have the strength to continue with miles to go before we sleep.
