Canine Companions for Independence to march in Presidential Inaugural Parade

New Jersey volunteer puppy raising families and assistance dog teams from Englewood, Old Tappan, Lincroft, Phillipsburg, Haddonfield, Moorestown and Mt. Holly will be on hand for the Presidential Inauguration.

Canine Companions for Independence, the nation’s largest non-profit provider of highly trained assistance dogs to children and adults with disabilities, has received a special invitation to march in the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Parade on January 21 in Washington DC.

CCI is one of 43 organizations from across the nation selected for this honor from over 2,800 applicants.

134 CCI assistance dog teams, puppy raising families, volunteers and supporters will march in the parade, along with 57 assistance dogs and dog-in-training, which will be viewed by millions across the globe.

“The President has placed a big emphasis on the idea of service — including a National Day of Service as part of the inaugural tradition — and many of the groups chosen to march in the parade reflect the idea of serving one another and giving back to the community,” according to the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

On January 21 starting at 2:30 p.m., the parade will kick off following the traditional route down Pennsylvania Avenue from 4th Street past the White House.

President Obama and Vice President Biden, along with their families, will watch the parade from the reviewing stand across from Lafayette Park.
