Soldier’s Best Friend will host its first annual Flag Day Luncheon 11 a.m. on Friday, June 14, at Chicken-N-Pickles Westgate.
There will be no playing pickleball, but there will be lunch, testimonies of veteran/dog teams, and support for the mission of Soldier’s Best Friend.
Soldier’s Best Friend provides U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury with service dogs, most of which are rescued from local shelters. The veteran and dog train together to build a trusting relationship that touches two lives at once and inspires countless others. To date, 396 veterans have graduated from the program; and, currently there are 50 veteran/dog teams in training across the state of Arizona.
In the last year, Soldier’s Best Friend has opened training facilities in Yuma and Show Low, adding to the existing facilities in Flagstaff, Prescott, Peoria, Mesa, Tucson, and Sierra Vista. In addition, Soldier’s Best Friend is about to launch a dog training program in Fort Grant Prison in Willcox, Arizona, where inmates will be training dogs to the Canine Good Citizen standards before they are placed with a veteran.
Tickets for the lunch are $100/person. Sponsorships of various levels are also available. Seating is limited to 250 guests. To purchase tickets, sponsor the event, or for more information visit https://soldiersbestfriend.org/flag-day-lunch/ or call Soldier’s Best Friend at 623-218-6486.
