100.7 The Wolf Raises $400,000 to Provide Service Dogs for Veterans in Seattle
100.7 The Wolf (KKWF-FM), an Audacy station in Seattle, raised $400,000 during its 5th annual “Operation K9 Companion,” benefitting Northwest Battle Buddies. Northwest Battle Buddies gifts professionally trained service dogs to Veterans battling PTSD, helping them regain their freedom and independence.
“Operation K9 Companion” was led by “The Morning Wolfpack with Matt McAllister,” and ran from November 10 to November 14. Throughout the week, the morning show shared powerful testimonials from veterans whose lives had been transformed by service dogs and encouraged listeners to make a donation. The fundraiser concluded on November 15 with a benefit concert featuring country star Chris Janson and an auction for a signed Johnny Cash guitar.
“Supporting veterans is a cause that our morning show is deeply passionate about. We are thankful for these brave American heroes and recognize the struggles that often come following their service,” said McAllister. “We are so grateful to our incredible community for coming together to raise $400,000. Thanks to these generous donations, we provided life-changing service dogs to 16 Veterans at no cost.”
“There are no words to express the gratitude to 100.7 The Wolf, its entire team, all the constituents, listeners and business owners that were responsible for making this fundraiser the great success that it was,” said Shannon Walker, CEO, Northwest Battle Buddies. “The positive impact of the 16 American heroes receiving service dogs will be felt for generations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“The Morning Wolfpack with Matt McAllister” can be heard weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PST.
