The 1-800-SWEEPER Foundation is proud to announce its continued partnership with K9s For Warriors, the nation’s largest veteran service organization dedicated to pairing highly trained service dogs with veterans suffering from service-related trauma. Together, we’re working to bring hope, healing, and independence to those who need it most.
Every day an estimated 20 veterans lose their lives to suicide, a heartbreaking reality often linked to the invisible wounds of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. K9s For Warriors addresses this crisis by providing veterans with service dogs that can dramatically improve their quality of life, offering not only companionship but also critical emotional and physical support.
From September 15th through October 27th, 2025, we’re asking for your help to raise another $30,000 for the cost to train and care for a service dog over six months. These funds cover everything from food, shelter, veterinary care, and training essentials like leashes and service vests. With 98% of every donation going directly to K9s For Warriors, your contribution makes a real, measurable difference.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our Partners, Vendors and supporters, the 1-800-SWEEPER Foundation successfully met its $30,000 goal, resulting in the acquisition of a service dog named Murphy. Murphy is currently in training and has not been matched with a veteran yet. Murphy and the trainer will be joining us at the 1-800-SWEEPER Annual Meeting, taking place on November 4th at the International Sweeper Summit & Equipment Expo in Las Vegas.
“We are proud to be partnering again with K9s For Warriors,” says Andy Williams, Brand & Development Manager for 1-800-SWEEPER. “Our Partners did an incredible job last year fundraising for this very worthy cause. We look forward to another successful campaign and the opportunity to help another veteran in need.”
The campaign officially kicks off on September 15th, with 1-800-SWEEPER Partners rallying their employees, customers, families, and friends to join the mission. A check presentation to K9s For Warriors will take place on November 4th.
