Dear Community Member,

This year, we are celebrating a very special milestone—Alpha Bravo Canine's 10th Anniversary! For a decade, ABC has been dedicated to training and donating Service Dogs to veterans suffering from PTSD and brain injuries. To commemorate this remarkable achievement, we’re excited to elevate our annual event to new heights with more family/furry activities and vendors!

For the fifth consecutive year, Nicky Christopher (“The Birthday Lawn Bandit”) is teaming up to raise funds for this incredible cause, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever! He is thrilled to be hosting Strolling for Service Dogs, a dog-friendly walk through the Garden of Reflection on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 911 Memorial Park in Yardley, PA.

Thanks to the amazing turnout last year, we raised over $29,000—surpassing our goal of $25,000—enough to cover the costs of caring for, training, and ultimately matching a service dog with a veteran in need. This year, with our 10th-anniversary celebration, we’re aiming even higher!

In addition to the walk, this year’s event will feature Puppy Kissing Booths, a food truck, vendors, balloon animals, face painting, and fun activities for all ages—a celebration you won’t want to miss!

To help us reach our goal of at least $50,000 to fund the raising, training, and donation of 2 service dogs to deserving veterans, we are asking for your generous support through monetary donations or company sponsorship (see attached details). We request donations be made by June 1st if possible.

Donations can be mailed via check to: 1488 Merrick Rd., Yardley, PA 19067

(Attn: Alpha Bravo Canine/Birthday Lawn Bandit)

Checks should be payable to Alpha Bravo Canine.

 

If a monetary donation is not possible, donations of items such as water bottles, gift cards, or a raffle basket are also greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sara Christopher  & Nicky Christopher
