The comprehensive partnership will include the sponsorship of future Service Dogs, the donation of roofing materials, and additional services supporting the K9s For Warriors mission of serving our Veterans as honorably as they served our country.

“At Beacon, we believe in building better for our communities, and that starts with supporting the heroes who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Jake Gosa, Beacon’s chief commercial officer. “Our partnership with K9s For Warriors has allowed us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Veterans while also saving the lives of shelter dogs. It’s an honor to continue this mission in 2025 with our largest commitment yet.”

“CertainTeed is proud to partner with Beacon in supporting K9s For Warriors and their life-changing mission,” said Andrew Goldberg, CertainTeed’s vice president, sales. “Our contribution toward this incredible cause reflects our shared commitment of honoring Veterans and making a positive impact on their lives. Together, we’re helping to create powerful partnerships between Veterans and service dogs that transform lives and build hope for the future, in line with our mission of making the world a better home.”

K9s For Warriors is a nonprofit organization that is committed to ending Veteran suicide and provides Veterans with highly trained service dogs, many being rescues, creating a powerful bond that aids in the Veteran's healing journey and gives a second chance to rescue dogs. The program saves two lives with each match – a rescue dog, and a Veteran in need. On average, they pair up to 16 Veterans with service dogs each month. To date, K9s For Warriors has rescued more than 2,000 dogs and paired nearly 1,100 Veterans with lifesaving service dogs.

“We are proud to recognize TRI-BUILT as our Partner of the Year,” said Steven Carmichael, K9s for Warrior’s development manager – major gifts. “Their unwavering support allows us to rescue even more dogs and transform them into life-changing companions for Veterans. Together, we are building brighter futures for Veterans who deserve it most.”
