Lifetime Recognition Wall

A lasting legacy of support.

Honoring the individuals, businesses, and organizations whose cumulative generosity helps The Buddy System Inc. keep moving forward.

No Buddy Left Behind.

Generosity that grows with the mission.

Every gift is part of the story. Lifetime recognition celebrates qualifying support accumulated over time, honoring the commitment behind each milestone.

From the first contribution to years of continued giving, our supporters help create the resources and community that veteran and service dog partnerships need.

How lifetime recognition works

Which gifts count toward lifetime recognition?

Qualifying charitable contributions actually received by The Buddy System Inc. accumulate over time. These include annual Mission Partner gifts, monthly donations, and direct charitable gifts. For purchases that include goods or services, only the recorded charitable contribution portion counts.

Is this the same as annual sponsorship?

No. Annual Mission Partner status recognizes support for a particular calendar year. Lifetime recognition celebrates cumulative qualifying giving across the years. A supporter may participate in both.

Can monthly gifts build toward a lifetime level?

Yes. Qualifying monthly gifts count as they are received. Consistent support through the Battle Buddy Club can build toward a lifetime recognition milestone.

Can I remain anonymous?

Yes. You may reach lifetime recognition milestones without being publicly named. The Buddy System Inc. respects each donor’s recognition preferences.

How can I update a name or ask about recognition?

Email [email protected] to ask about recognition, request a name correction, or update your public recognition preference.

Does recognition provide influence over program decisions?

Lifetime recognition is honorary. It does not provide governance rights or control over veteran selection, dog matching, training, or placement.
