The 1-800-SWEEPER Foundation
Supports K9s for Warriors
The 1-800-SWEEPER Foundation is thrilled to announce its partnership with K9s for Warriors to raise funds for the training of service dogs that assist veterans suffering from service-related trauma . K9s for Warriors is a nationwide 501 ( c ) organization and the largest veterans service group aimed at providing highly trained service dogs to veterans , helping to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of PTSD .
Sadly , approximately 20 veterans die by suicide every day due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder , which is a distressing statistic . We are reaching out to support this crucial cause and donate to this campaign . Starting from August 26th and continuing until September 27th , we are seeking donations to finance a 6-month training program and care for a service dog for a deserving veteran .
Our goal is to raise $ 30,000 for this cause , with 98 % of the donations going directly to K9s for Warriors . The funds raised will be used for the training program , as well as for food , shelter , veterinary care , and training materials such as vests and leashes . Furthermore , many of these service dogs come from shelters . By rescuing these dogs from abandonment or euthanasia , they too are given a fresh start . As a result , two lives are forever changed . Charles Joseph of All Care Services and a 1-800-SWEEPER Board member says “ I have always had great respect for those who volunteer to defend our country and a deep love for animals . During my visit to the K9s for Warriors facility , I was truly amazed .
Understanding the profound impact of PTSD on our soldiers and how this program supports them was truly eye-opening . These remarkable dogs not only save lives but also provide crucial assistance to our returning soldiers , while also giving shelter dogs a second chance at life . I take great pride in supporting an organization that makes such a significant difference ."
The Partners of 1-800-SWEEPER will kick off the campaign on August 26th . Our partners will encourage their employees , customers , family , and friends to take part . A check presentation to K9s for Warriors will be made at the Sweeper Summit in Las Vegas on October 22nd .
