On October 14th, 2024, Blue Sky Innovators proudly hosted its 7th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the prestigious 1757 Golf Club. This annual event raises funds for Semper K9 Assistance Dogs, a remarkable organization dedicated to training and providing service dogs free of charge to disabled veterans.
Thanks to the generosity of our participants and sponsors, we successfully raised $60,000, enough to sponsor three service dogs, reaffirming our commitment to making a positive difference in our community. The impressive fundraising total is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm of everyone involved in this event.
Adding to the excitement, NFL legends Mark Rypien and Darrell Green of the Washington Commanders attended the tournament, showcasing their support for our cause and inspiring everyone present. Their presence was a thrill for participants and spectators alike and served as a reminder of the importance of supporting those who have served our country.
This tournament exemplifies Blue Sky’s long-term partnership with Semper K9, reflecting our shared commitment to supporting veterans and empowering them with life-changing service animals. By providing these dogs free of charge, we can help restore dignity and independence to those who need it most.
“The support of our participants and sponsors has been overwhelming,” said CEO Tim Tkacz. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in our community, and we’re proud to be part of this incredible event.” Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about Semper K9’s mission and the impact that their service dogs have on the lives of disabled veterans.
Blue Sky Innovators would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to all participants, sponsors, and volunteers who made this day possible. As we look to the future, we’re committed to continuing this tradition of community engagement and philanthropy. We invite everyone to join us in supporting Semper K9 Assistance Dogs and making a positive difference in our community.
