Trisha is doing a community service project to benefit the West Deptford Police K-9 Unit. She is raising funds to help cover the purchase and training of the K-9 dogs, as municipal taxes do not cover these expenses.

Her motivation for this project stems from her love of animals, and in particular, the working dogs. She has volunteered at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in Philadelphia and has grown to love these amazing working dogs and all they have to offer.
