Soldier Dogs for Independence Volunteers Step Up to Help the Insane Inflatable 5K!

The Insane Inflatable 5k was this past weekend, and it was a HUGE success! It was also a total blast! Our beneficiary for the Insane Inflatable 5k was Soldier Dogs for Independence, a local organization that teams up veterans and rescue dogs, together the two go through a 20-week program, and at the end the veteran has a fully certified service dog! After a long weekend and a lot of hard work Soldier Dogs were able to raise enough money to put 9 veterans through the program!

Soldier Dogs for Independence really stepped up and were a HUGE help to the II5k!  They posted this on their facebook page:

Just want to take this time to tell all our volunteers how much we appreciated your hard work and dedication this weekend. We were told that our volunteers was one of the most pleasant and hard working crews they have had to work with yet. Also because of your hard work and dedication we raised enough money that we will be able to put approx. 9 veterans through our program. what a FUN and successful weekend. Thank you from all of us at sdi.

9 Veterans getting to go through the program means 18 lives are going to be changed thanks to YOU! That's 9 veterans and 9 dogs! If you came out and participated in the II5k, YOU had a part in helping SDI! And SDI thank YOU for all your hard work and your volunteers for coming out and working so hard to make sure the II5k went smoothly!
