Mahwah Business Donates $100K To Sponsor Service Dogs For Combat Veterans

MAHWAH, NJ — Air Force Veteran Adam LeGrand was seriously injured during his final deployment in Qatar. He lives every day with post-traumatic stress order.

Stryker Orthopediatrics partnered with K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit organization that rescues and trains service dogs and pairs them with a military veteran.

LeGrand joined Syrker representatives at the Northern Trust golf tournament to speak about the lifesaving impact of his friend, Molly.

Stryker donated $100,000 this year, $20,000 a dog, to K9s For Warriors. It is the second consecutive year Stryker has made a donation of that size.

LeGrand was paired with Molly and is now a student in policy studies at Syracuse University, attending every class with Molly by his side.
