Love, hope, opportunity… These are the prevailing themes in Hope in a Blue Vest, a short 10-minute documentary film about BluePath, the nonprofit providing life-changing service dogs to children with autism and their families. Hope in a Blue Vest follows a service dog’s journey to find purpose while highlighting the many beautiful, multi-faceted connections made along the way.

A post film Q&A will include BluePath founders Michelle Brier and Caroline McCabe-Sandler, Tony-award winning producer and Bedford Playhouse advisory board member Ken Marsolais, service dog recipient Kate Petersen, facility dog recipient and West Patent Elementary School principal Judy Brewster, and volunteer puppy raiser and Bedford Police Sergeant Mark Montanaro.

A wine & cheese reception will follow the Q&A.

Presented in partnership with BluePath Service Dogs and Siemers Wine & Spirits.
