The corrected release reads:
$100,000 DONATED TO K9S FOR WARRIORS BY
EARLY TIMES KENTUCKY WHISKY
Early Times Kentucky Whisky donated $100,000 to K9s For Warriors
during the announcement of its partnership at a ceremony in Ponte
Vedra, FL, on Thursday, March 24. K9s For Warriors is a non-profit
organization committed to training service canines for military
veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic
brain injury, and/or other trauma resulting from military
service.
The donation from Early Times will enable K9s For Warriors to
train five warrior-service dog teams.
The ceremony included opening remarks from K9s For Warriors
Founder and President Shari Duval and Executive Director Rory
Diamond, as well as the presentation of graduation certificates to
five veterans and their new service canines. In addition, ceremony
guests were introduced to former K9s graduate Joe Swoboda,
accompanied by his service dog Lilly. Swoboda spoke about his
experience at K9s For Warriors and what the donation means to him
and fellow veterans.
“Early Times’ donation of $100,000 isn’t just about money,” said
Swoboda. “It’s not just about the cost associated with training
service dogs. This is about saving the lives of our brothers in
arms. This check is lives.”
The partnership between Early Times and K9s For Warriors stems
from a long history of military support from Brown-Forman, the
parent company of Early Times. In conjunction with Brown-Forman’s
veterans employee resource group (BRAVE) mission, Early Times will
further the support in empowering military veterans to continue
living life with independence and dignity following military
service.
“Early Times has a genuine and heartfelt connection with our
United States military as well as with proud, hardworking and
patriotic Americans,” said Early Times Brand Manager Marc Hindorff.
“It is our honor to partner with K9s For Warriors and continue
supporting those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our
country in their service.”
Robin Nicholson, a representative from BRAVE, was also in
attendance and spoke on behalf of Early Times and Brown-Forman. Her
presentation of the $100,000 donation to K9s For Warriors on behalf
of Early Times and Brown-Forman left ceremony guests, volunteers,
and K9s veterans speechless, given her emotional remarks.
In efforts to continue to raise awareness, Early Times will
produce a documentary film about the relationship between warriors
and their service dogs, as well as invite consumers to get involved
with various programs on Early Times’ Facebook page and at
http://earlytimes.com/.

About K9s For Warriors:
K9s For Warriors was founded in 2011 by Shari Duval. After her
son Brett returned home as a contractor from Iraq with
Post-Traumatic Stress Disability, Duval recognized there was a need
to innovatively and effectively treat the devastating epidemic.
What started out as an idea developed into a passionate nonprofit
organization committed to saving the lives of rescue dogs and
military heroes alike. Since 9/11, there have been 130,000 veteran
suicides (22 lives lost a day to PTSD). Through a three-week,
live-in training program – at no cost to the veteran – K9s For
Warriors graduates are able to return to civilian life with dignity
and independence while reducing their risk for suicide. The mission
of K9s For Warriors is to stop these 22 daily suicides
altogether.
