JVG Attends Event for CCI To Support Veterans

Joe Verde staff recently attended a donor reception for Canine Companions for Independence hosted by the Ritz-Carlton in Orange County, CA.

CCI provides highly trained service dogs to wounded veterans and people with disabilities. The Joe Verde Group wants to thank our friends from the Ritz: Deanne French, Director of Public Relations; Bruce Brainerd, General Manager (with former CCI dog, Brock); and Shannon Gilbert, Director of Sales Marketing, for their ongoing support of CCI. The Ritz will host the upcoming Diamond Ball, a fundraiser benefiting CCI’s Wounded Veterans Initiative set for Nov. 12.

Our staff also met CCI’s veteran liaison, Lance Weir, and his service dog Auggie, who attended the event and is active in the group’s Wounded Veterans Initiative.
