Mel Coleman, vice president and 5th generation of the founding Coleman family, presented a graduation certificate to Alicia and Gabe, a veteran and service dog pair at the annual Pups4Patriots Gala in Palm Beach, Fla., on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020. Last year, Coleman Natural Foods pledged to donate almost $1 million to the organization.
“Last year as I sat in this room, I was moved by the meaningful work that American Humane was doing through Pups4Patriots and knew that I didn’t just want to be a bystander,” said Mel Coleman, vice president of Coleman Natural Foods. “That’s why we pledged to fund the training for more than two dozen dogs over the next few years.”
