Shelter to Soldier fundraiser benefits combat veterans

Shelter to Soldier, a nonprofit organization that rescues shelter dogs and trains them to become certified psychiatric service companions for post 9/11 U.S. combat Veterans suffering from PTSD, hosted its second annual benefit on July 28. Festivities included a private screening of the “Bucket List” feature film (starring Oscar winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman), including a Q and A with Executive Producer and Screenwriter Justin Zackham. Event proceeds directly support the outreach efforts to rescue shelter dogs facing an uncertain future and underwrite fees to enroll them in a training program. Afterward, the dogs will be placed with American military veterans free of charge to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD. Visit www.sheltertosoldier.org. Photos by NINE10 Photo
