February 24, 2023 | Ponte Vedra, FL – The TPC Clubhouse came to life as the K9s team hustled to create a memorable night at the first-ever Salute to Heroes – K9s For Warriors Gala in Florida that raised over $260,000. With seven of our Warrior/K9 graduate teams in the room with us, it was truly an evening filled with emotional testimony and significant generosity from our donors.

The room was captivated by the story of graduates Joe & Eagle, Denis & CJ featuring his son David, and David & Doc featuring his daughter Keira.

Moss Creek Marines was the recipient of the Corporate Partner – Hero of the Year award for 2022 for assisting K9s with the graduation of Marine Veterans. Moss Creek donates $5,000 per Marine with a total of 120 graduates.

We were also pleased to award Mary Godley, Benefactor Hero of the Year for her efforts in supporting our mission. At the young age of 101, Ms. Godley made a very significant donation for our Mega Kennel expansion in 2022. She has been a generous supporter since 2012.

Take a look at some of our favorite highlights from the evening.
