dogs to military, police, fire fighters, and other first responders. Congratulations and thank

President & CEO of Key Community Bank

KEY COMMUNITY BANK has been a proud partner of SOLDIER’S 6 since 2016. Together,
they have been dedicated to improving their community through affordable housing and
community development initiatives.

The generous donation of $10,000 will go towards the care and training of our specially
trained Service Dogs that are gifted to our military men and women, honorably discharged
military members, police officers, fire fighters, EMS, 911 dispatchers, and correctional
officers, along with therapy dogs to police /fire departments at no cost to them.

Thank you for your support, your commitment to your community, and love for not only
dogs, but our nation’s heroes. Soldiers 6 is a small, yet mighty, family run organization,
doing our best to give back to another family what was given to ours, and that is the second
chance at life. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Ed and Dana Abrahamson
Soldier’s 6
