The EOD Warrior Foundation is partnering with MADE in Texas Assistance Dogs to pair a trained service dog with an EOD technician in need

Many EOD technicians need assistance when they return home from combat. Those who suffer from conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often find that service dogs bring relief, others who have physical injuries, including amputations, blindness, and many others, may find benefit in having a service dog for multiple reasons. The EOD Warrior Foundation is partnering with MADE in Texas Assistance Dogs to provide an EOD technician in need with a fully trained service dog.  This dog is being donated in honor of former U.S. Navy EOD officer, Commander Kevin Childre, who passed away in May 2015 as a result of a bicycle accident while on a ride raising awareness for the EOD Warriors Foundation.

As the new school year moves near, many parents are left with the age-old struggle of how to get their child to brush their teeth regularly before heading off to the bus stop each day. The good news is that for those parents who put in the effort, their kids will usually develop good oral hygiene habits. Prior to the school year beginning, parents can start working on helping their child develop good daily brushing habits.

The EOD Warrior Foundation announces a title sponsorship for the 2016 EOD Undefeated Ride. A $40,000 event title sponsorship honors the Cecil B. DeMille Foundation, located in Los Angeles. The annual Undefeated Ride is a one or two-day bicycle ride that has grown to be the Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser. All funds raised, directly support the EOD Warrior Foundation’s mission, of helping EOD warriors and their families.

“We are honored and thrilled to have the Cecil B. DeMille Foundation as a title sponsor for this great event,” explains Nicole Motsek, executive director of the EOD Warrior Foundation. “The Undefeated Ride is only successful because of our generous supporters.”
