Our Vision
As students in the 21st leadership class of Next Level Trainings, part of our transformational curriculum is to create a large-scale community service project for a local non-profit in just 26 days! Our team has chosen to support VCAS and we are excited to create massive results that will support VCAS in the placement of rescue dogs, free dog-training classes, active military-veteran community building, and the cost of supplies and veterinary care. Our Next Level Trainings leadership class is committed to raising $100,000 and hosting 2 events in support of Veteran Companion Animal Services by May 3, 2019.

VIP 9 philadelphia proudly supports VCAS
American veterans and military families have made many seen and unseen sacrifices for our country. Veteran Companion Animal Services (VCAS) is a Central Ohio non-profit dedicated to enriching the lives of veterans, military families, and dogs through the many benefits of the human-animal bond. Your support of VCAS will further their mission of placing rescue dogs in the homes of veterans and military families where companion animal ownership will be beneficial and create routine, fulfillment, and joy for these brave men, women, and their families.
VCAS provides financial support that assists with general care costs, training, and veterinary expenses so that companion animal ownership is an option and not a burden. We, the 21st leadership class of Next Level Trainings, are working passionately to support VCAS in providing the transformational benefits of the human-animal bond. Your contribution will support us in inspiring connection, purpose, and stability in the lives of our veterans and military families. They have served and sacrificed much. Now we can serve and support them in return.

With a team of only 43 individuals, we boldly declared to raise $100,000 in 25 days for VCAS. We immediately set out on the objective and reached out to friends, family and local businesses to support the cause. Our mission reached from coast to coast and even beyond the United States itself in our search for support. Not only did we reach our goal, we exceeded it, raising a total of $118,453 for VCAS.
