Campaign Overview
This Veterans Day, Top Dogg K9 Foundation partnered with 11Alive for a special live Telethon event dedicated to supporting our nation’s heroes. Our mission: to raise critical funds so we can continue providing life-changing service dogs—at no cost—to disabled U.S. Military Veterans and Gold Star Families.

Why This Matters
Every day, nearly 22 veterans lose their lives to suicide—many struggle with PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and other service-related disabilities. Service dogs are proven to offer invaluable support—helping veterans regain independence, confidence, and hope. With nearly 400 successful dog-veteran pairings and 2,500+ families served, your support directly changes lives.
Telethon Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign

Peer-to-peer fundraising means you set up your own fundraising page and reach out to your friends, family, and community to ask for their support. Each person becomes a fundraiser, helping us spread the word and multiply our impact. By joining in, you can make a direct difference in the lives of veterans—one connection at a time.
