Friends of The NCVMA Foundation Presents Grant to Support Vets to Vets United, Inc.
Philanthropic Arm of The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association Supports Durham Nonprofit.
Raleigh, NC, August 25, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (http://www.ncvma.org/) has announced that its Friends of the NCVMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the organization, has awarded a $750 grant to the Vets to Vets United, Inc. organization, which is based in Durham. The grant will be used to support the Vets to Vets United, Inc. mission to serve the needs of United States military veterans experiencing loneliness, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury and physical disabilities by providing companion, therapeutic and service animals to aid in their recovery.
The animals, which otherwise are at risk of being euthanized, are matched with veterans who are then given thorough weekly training, as well as ongoing support and encouragement by the volunteers with the Vets to Vets United, Inc. organization. The training enables the vets and their companion animals to support one another through shared daily activities and unconditional love.
Dr. Jennifer Shults, NCVMA District 4 representative, presented the check on behalf of the Friends of the NCVMA Foundation to Dr. Terry Morris, founder and director of the Durham-based Vets to Vets United, Inc. on Aug. 16.
