Puppy Jake Foundation Receives 100K From Donald Trump
January 31st, 2016 • iizthatiiz
The first proceeds from Donald Trump’s ‘Special Event For Veterans’ was dispersed to the Puppy Jake Foundation. The Iowa based charity raises service dogs for veterans with mobility issues and post traumatic stress disorder.
Trump’s ‘Special Event For Veterans’ was held in Des Moines, simultaneously against a debate hosted by Fox News in the aftermath of a dispute with Fox News that caused Trump to withdraw from the Republican debate.
The hastily organized event raised over $6 million dollars for veterans charities. Trump has designated 22 different charities that will receive benefits. Puppy Jake was the first recipient and received an initial donation of $100,000 dollars.
