This fundraiser will make a difference for our local veterans with service dogs supported by Vets To Vets United, Inc., a local non-profit 501(C)3 organization. We pair and train service dogs with local disabled veterans suffering from PTS, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or other physical or mental service-connected issues. After a 2 yr. training program, these service dogs significantly improve their life by providing companionship and helping them with their mental or physical disability. This also saves the life of a dog facing euthanasia by adopting the animal from a local animal shelter. This annual fund-raiser helps us to fund this challenge.
There will be product vendors, veteran organizations, a DJ with great encouragement music, snacks and water, and fun activities for your dog. Bring your support fans to cheer you on and have fun as well. An encouraging opening and closing ceremony is planned.
