All Things Are Possible for our Veterans... If You Believe

DDS4Vets, a Treasure Coast non-profit organization, is hard at work to ensure veterans get the help they need. Many veterans need help with saving their homes, getting medical care, and more. There is help out there, but they do not know how to get it. It can be overwhelming. Deb Doherty, CEO, stated “Bridging the gap that veterans face with services that they are entitled to is of utmost importance”. The non-profit also raises money to purchase dogs and have them trained for veterans who need them.

U.S. Army Brigadier General Donald Bolduc (retired) will be the special guest speaker.

The event will be emceed by Fox News Commentator David Webb and Dr. Brian Moriarty. Special guests include Director/Producer Michael Gier, Congressman Brian Mast, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, and more. General Frank Libutti, Founder of Horses & Heroes, will speak at the gala about his organization and DDS4Vets joining forces to offer horse therapy to veterans.

DDS4Vets has joined forces with DoYouGiveARuck, a, Indian River County not-for-profit that raises funds to help veterans, and the homeless. Together they raise money and awareness for veteran issues.
