Caring Causes - Northwest Battle Buddies


 

Northwest Battle Buddies: Rappel From The Tallest Building in Portland to Help a Veteran

 

Rappel from the 42-story U.S. Bancorp Tower in Portland in support of Northwest Battle Buddies and help to fund Service Dogs for Vets. Sign up to join or donate to the cause.  NWBB is partnering with the Reliant Foundation and Over The Edge to bring this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to descend over 530 feet while raising money for Veterans suffering from PTSD. 

 Northwest Battle Buddies gives professionally trained service dogs to Veterans battling PTSD, helping them regain their freedom and independence - with a 100% success rate. 

 

There is no cure for PTSD; however, with a canine Battle Buddy by their side, veterans with PTSD can reduce their symptoms with life-changing results. The NWBB service dogs spend 5+ months in intensive training, then are carefully matched with a Veteran handler for five more weeks of training and bonding, creating the ultimate partnership. Many service dogs are rescued from animal shelters. 

 

Visit www.RappelforPurpose.com to sign up to rappel or support the rappellers and the cause. NWBB has a $200,000 fundraising goal.

2. Capture the Moment: If the rappel isn't for you, attend the event and help spread the message.
