USC Kappa Sigma is raising funds to support Veterans Moving Forward (VMF), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans by providing them with highly trained service dogs, facility dogs, and emotional support dogs. These dogs help veterans facing physical and mental health challenges regain independence, confidence, and emotional well-being—all at no cost to the veteran or their family.

The Impact of Your Donation:

• Service Dog Training Costs: It costs over $40,000 to raise and train each service dog over a period of two years. VMF covers all of these costs through donations, ensuring veterans don’t face financial burdens.
• Direct Support to the Program: 80% of all donations directly fund VMF’s programs, allowing them to provide service dogs to veterans in need without delays or additional expenses.
• Long-Term Care and Support: Your contributions will not only help train and place service dogs with veterans, but also ensure these veterans receive ongoing support for the dog’s lifetime.

Why It Matters: Veterans have made incredible sacrifices to protect and serve our country. Many return home with visible and invisible wounds that make daily life challenging. A service dog can be the key to helping veterans regain independence and improve their quality of life. By donating, you are directly contributing to their recovery and well-being.

Your support ensures veterans receive the long-term care and support they deserve, recognizing their sacrifices and empowering them to live fuller lives. Help us give back to those who have given so much.
