Who are we supporting?
This year proceeds will benefit 22Mohawks' Pups for Vets Program. 22Mohawks is a 501(c)(3) based out of Millis, MA, 22Mohawks Pups for Vets Program is bringing purpose into veterans’ lives, while also positively affecting their home lives and relationships. This program has opened up a network of dedicated individuals looking to be part of a bigger cause, honoring the men and women who have so selflessly served us and our country. We strive to bring those who come to us into the 22Mohawks Family which is part of our solution and prevention to veteran suicide.
22Mohawks Pups for Vets Program Objectives: "Veterans experiencing mental health issues may feel isolated, unsupported, or lacking purpose. A dog offers companionship and purpose, due to the care required and ongoing training the veterans and their families participate in. 22Mohawks Pups for Vets program participants and their families are invited to monthly trainings and cookouts which helps build social bonds. Between training sessions and social gatherings, this program is creating a larger meaning within 22Mohawks, the 22Mohawks Family. These connections within the veteran community become a layer of security and ultimately contribute to suicide prevention."
