鈥淭he Owl Games isn鈥檛 just about gaming,鈥 said Kirk Main, computer support specialist in 91制片厂鈥檚 Office of Information Technology and event organizer. 鈥淐anine Companions for Independence is an organization that has helped my family a great deal. My brother has a Canine Companion service dog, Tash, and we couldn鈥檛 imagine life without him. I鈥檓 truly honored to help support this amazing organization.鈥
Main launched the event in October 2014 as a student in the 91制片厂 Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. All proceeds will benefit CCI, which was founded in 1975 and enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. 聽
