For 30 years, Assistance Dogs Australia (ADA) has been changing lives.

This year, ADA is asking Australians to continue its life-changing work by donating to its first Giving Day on Thursday, 14 May.

Thanks to Hyundai Help for Kids, a major partner for the last decade, the Giving Day activation hub will be hosted at Hyundai headquarters in Macquarie Park.

The 12-hour Giving Day (8:00am-8:00pm) aims to raise $250,000 by doubling donations up to $125,000.

Funds raised will help to create a puppy birthing centre at the National Training Centre in Western Sydney, which will house two birthing suites.

Matched donors include Hyundai, Deloitte and Hill’s Pet.

ADA CEO Tim Taylor said the organisation received no government funding for operations and relied on community support for its ongoing success.

“We are working hard to achieve our goal of helping 10,000 people by 2035, and our Giving Day will allow us to invest in our breeding program to support us in achieving our goal,” Mr Taylor said.
