PROVIDING FOR OUR PROTECTORS 💙🐾

We’re proud to recognize K9 Strong, Inc. as a recipient of the Dyer Difference Award in SLC! 🐕‍🦺🏆

These incredible working K9s put themselves in harm’s way every day alongside their handlers to help protect our communities. K9 Strong works to make sure they have the equipment they need to do their jobs safely—from ballistic vests and first-aid supplies to training equipment, tracking leads, and other essential gear.

And their impact is incredible: nearly 400 law enforcement K9 teams have received assistance, including teams right here in St. Lucie and Indian River counties. 💙

We’ve had the opportunity to see K9 Strong’s work firsthand and know the difference they are making for local law enforcement agencies and the four-legged officers who serve beside them.

What makes their mission even more special? K9 Strong is entirely volunteer-run, with a simple but powerful mission:

🐾 “Providing for our Protectors.”

Congratulations to the entire K9 Strong team! Thank you for standing behind the K9s who stand on the front lines for all of us. 💙🐕‍🦺

⚽️💙 August Dyer Difference Award! 💙⚽️

Dyer Kia Lake Wales is proud to recognize the Rey Jei Community Foundation as an August Dyer Difference Award recipient!

Sometimes the biggest difference starts with simply giving a child a place to play, belong, learn and grow.

Through soccer, Rey Jei is creating those opportunities for approximately 500 young athletes. Kids ages 4–18 have a positive place to stay active, build confidence, learn teamwork and discipline, make friendships, and discover what they are capable of — both on and off the field.

What makes their mission even more special is their commitment to inclusion, creating opportunities for children with autism to experience the joy and benefits of being part of the game in a supportive and welcoming environment. ❤️

Youth sports are about so much more than wins and losses. They can give a child a team, a mentor, a goal to work toward and memories that last a lifetime.

That’s a difference worth celebrating.

Congratulations to Rey Jei Community Foundation, and thank you for investing your time and energy into the next generation! ⚽️👏
