It is a great way to honor those men and women in a fun environment, and at the same time, raise funds to support the growing needs of those who suffer from PTSD,” said Nicole Lanahan, Executive Director of Got Your Six Support Dogs.
“We have great track record of helping our heroes but also have a long waiting list of veterans who wish to utilize our services. The kickball tournament will help us raise some of the funds to increase our outreach and help improve the lives of those who served,” Lanahan said.
