I’ve enjoyed many years being actively involved in CWAC, mostly in the fundraising aspect.
Having grown up in a military family environment, even living overseas for many years, I understand first hand how this program serves our veterans. And then of course the combination of my passion and love for animals!
I have served on the fundraising committee and have been amazed by the support and donations from the local communities. We were able to provide veterans the chance to play in some fun golf tournaments throughout the years along with catered meals and gifts.
It is exciting to watch CWAC expand and grow, and seeing the many possibilities and opportunities it continues to offer our veterans.
