2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to present this year's annual report, a testament to the extraordinary impact we have achieved in 2022, thanks to your unwavering dedication and support. Together, we have made a profound difference in the lives of military families, first responders, and children with disabilities.

One of my favorite moments from 2022 was when I received this message from a veteran recipient that reminded me why we do this work - "Before receiving my service dog, my life was nothing short of an emotional disaster. My service dog has provided me endless love and caring that has opened my life back up and gave me access to endless possibilities. Thank you for helping me achieve freedom I never thought I would be able to have again." This is why we do what we do.

I am proud to say that we have had more small business donors this year than we ever have had in the history of the organization. I am so honored that our community supports us in the way that they do.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated team, tireless volunteers, and our incredible community of donors and partners. Thank you for being the heart and soul of our non-profit. With your help, we will continue to dream bigger, reach further, and touch the lives of even more individuals and families.

Sincerely,

Britnee Kinard, Executive Director, SD Gunner Fund
