Peoria Times - 3/30/2018

Soldier's Best Friend provides U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Service or Therapeutic Companion Dogs, most of which are rescued from local shelters.

From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.April 7, Soldier's Best Friend will be hosting its Seventh Annual Sporting Clay Event at Ben Avery Clay Target Center, 5060 W. Skeet St. in Phoenix, 1.5 miles west of Interstate 17 on Carefree Highway.

All skill levels are welcome and loaner equipment will be available. Registration includes 50 clay pigeons, 50 shotgun shells, lunch, prizes for first, second and third place, as well as opportunities for prize drawings for all participants.

Sponsorships remain available and offer a great opportunity to showcase one's business. All proceeds from this event will be used to grow SBF's pair and train program. The average cost to pair, equip, train and support each veteran/dog team is $4,000. Sponsorships and community support help SBF provide ongoing support to veterans and their families as they transition into their new lives.
