PHOENIX, Nov. 20, 2023 ~ The 12th Annual Leaders & Legends event was held at the Arizona Biltmore, honoring a remarkable group of veterans, most from the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. Seven Purple Heart recipients took the stage, including Tom Kirk and David Allwine, former POWs who endured the infamous Hanoi Hilton. Kirk even celebrated his 95th birthday with attendees.

The event showcased the importance of improving the lives of Veterans by connecting them to the unconditional love of service and emotional support dogs. It featured icons from sports, business and the military, with a theme of "Trust—the tangible intangible." Two new beneficiaries will share in the amount raised: The PenFed Foundation and Rick Hogg's "In Honor of Duco Project."

The PenFed Foundation is led by PenFed Credit Union President/CEO James Schenck and Foundation President Andrea McCarren. They prioritize the welfare of Veterans, with 99 cents of every dollar raised by the Foundation going directly to their Veterans' program. The second beneficiary is Hogg's project which aims to prevent Special Ops Forces K9 handlers from having to make a medical decision for their partner based on their finances.
