Those who can't participate in person can still participate virtually! Virtual Spring Cycle participants can complete their tour at any time and place of their choosing, and they will receive a t-shirt and medal.
In honor of the military Veterans we proudly serve, we’re excited to announce the Indiana Canine Assistant Network’s 5K and Family Walk, happening Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026. The event will take place at a park in the Fort Wayne area, with the exact location to be announced soon.
