Once your fundraiser is live, we’ll send you a community toolkit with helpful resources — so you can spread the word to your family, friends, and community. Whether through social media, email, or text, get the word out and make an even bigger impact.
You must register your fundraiser to help K9s For Warriors protect itself, as well as protect you. By registering your event, K9s For Warriors is able to keep in touch with you as an essential resource and also can help track your fundraising. Registering your fundraiser also allows you access to our toolkit containing items that will help you with your fundraisers, such as our Proud Supporter Logo, approved photos, videos, and press materials.
