K9s For Warriors’ Inaugural Barbeque
Auld & White Constructors was honored to be the presenting sponsor of K9s For Warriors‘ Inaugural Barbeque, last Saturday. The event included great live music, food, and special appearances from Jacksonville Jaguars – Jaxson DeVille, Jacksonville Sharks – Chum, and Jacksonville Icemen – Fang.
Families attending were able to get their faces painted, play cornhole, and meet future K9 puppy prospects inside K9s For Warriors Flagler Health+ Mega Kennel Hub.
In addition to the great public and Team AWC turnout, Director of Business Development – Buck Smoak participated in the competition. With his tasty pork belly, he and his team were awarded second place.
The event helps support K9FW’s mission to pair a veteran hero with a service dog. Former military men and women with PTSD and other physical/psychological challenges reciprocally help save hundreds of abandoned dogs. The outstanding support, through professional training, matching a dog with a needing warrior has resulted in an extremely high suicide avoidance rate and a win-win for warriors and dogs.
