Yesterday, at the Farm we were blessed with the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) Secretary-designee James Bond presented Dogs2DogTags with a Veteran Mental Health Grant check for $77,008 to their Executive Director, Tammy Graf, and President, Torre Willadsen, at their training center in Plymouth, WI. This grant will be used to train and place service dogs with veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress or anxiety. There is no cost for veterans to receive a dog. He was joined in the check presentation by our WDVA Veteran Outreach and Recovery Program (VORP) Supervisor Chandler Miller, and VORP Region 13 coordinator Mark Provencher Jr., and several veterans with service dogs who have received services through Dogs2DogTags. This grant is part of Governor Tony Evers’ $10 million investment to support Wisconsin Veterans, funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These grants have been made available to nonprofit organizations that promote positive mental health through activities, programs, and services that enhance the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of Wisconsin Veterans.

When I started Taskforce Uplift in 2021 with a personal mission to help close the digital divide and break the poverty cycle in the #military #community I knew the ability to leverage professional partnerships within the corporate sector would be of critical significance to bring this to life. Taskforce Uplift is 100% #volunteer and 100% of every dime we collect, gets converted to purchase technology for kids of #veterans (no overhead) and distributed through our #Veteran #Nonprofit #partners that deliver their magic to vets and their families in need each and every day. Tuatara Consulting, Inc. partnering up with the Kohler Co. KAVS and bringing the Veteran Alliance to life as a platform for these orgs to share their mission, reach new donors, and amplify their impact is another example of the difference #veterans can make when we rally around a common cause!

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the 18th Annual Chancellor's Reception hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Chancellor Michael Alexander shared his appreciation and continued support for Veterans on and off campus. Thank you Nicole Stockman for organizing this great event honoring our Veterans! I was excited to set up the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce booth in the company of several other WVCC members like Gail Nohr with Veterans 1st of NEW, Chris Gromowski with Vyper Energy, and Tammy Graf with Dogs2DogTags!
