WABI, WVII cover Pets 4 Vets benefit dodgeball tournament
WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) covered Pets 4 Vets, a dodgeball tournament on March 31 at the University of Maine to raise money for service dogs for veterans. The event, in its third year, featured nearly 40 teams and was sponsored by Maine Business School Corps, UMaine ROTC and the UMaine Veterans Association, WABI reported. Proceeds from the event went to Salute of Service, a Searsport-based organization that provides and trains dogs for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and injuries. “It’s good for the cadets in my program who are going to be future leaders to do these kinds of things for veterans,” said Lt. Col. Mike Davis, a professor of military science with UMaine ROTC.
