We’re beyond grateful to have been part of the 28th Annual South Walton Celebrity Golf Classic as a nonprofit beneficiary. A special thank you to our friend, Charlie, for his unwavering support and dedication to our cause. And to all the amazing people and celebrities who joined us – your presence made this event truly special!

By coming together, you’re helping shine a light on the critical need for service dogs to support veterans facing the challenges of life after service. Veteran suicide is a heartbreaking crisis, and with each dollar raised, we’re able to train and pair service dogs with veterans who need them most, offering companionship, purpose, and hope.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support and stand with us in this mission. Together, we’re making a difference!
