Sheep Dog Impact Assistance Celebration

Join us for a night of celebrating 11 years of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance and our nation's heroes! 

Over the past 11 years, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) has grown into a national 501c3 nonprofit. With your help, SDIA has been able to engage, assist and empower thousands of Sheep Dogs in need by helping them #GetOffTheCouch. This is accomplished through our three programs:

• Outdoor Adventures to engage them with camaraderie and healing;
• Warrior PATHH training to assist them in learning to transform their struggle into strength; and
• Continued Service where Sheep Dogs are empowered to discover the power of "Helping is Healing" as they serve others through Disaster Response Missions and community service.

Thank you for making the missions of SDIA possible! Please join us on October 9th and Celebrate a wonderful 11 years of SDIA and our nation's heroes!

SDIA is excited to welcome combat-wounded Army Veteran SGT Sergio Trejo, USA (Ret.) as our Guest Speaker on Saturday, October 9, 2021!

Guest Speaker, SGT Sergio Trejo, USA (Ret.)
Sergio is a long-time SDIA member who was severely wounded on his second deployment to Iraq; doctors first thought his paralysis would be permanent, but he regained all function in his arms and legs. But he - like many injured Veterans - had lost what he thought was his sole purpose in life. After years of rehabilitation, anger and struggle, Sergio was challenged to go SCUBA diving - and through that challenge, he found his purpose. He founded Tre Charters LLC and Operation Til Valhalla and now helps fellow combat-wounded warriors #GetOffTheCouch on fishing and SCUBA diving trips outside Galveston, TX.

Sergio was part of SDIA in the early years, and we are thrilled to have him with us as we celebrate TEN years of helping Sheep Dogs #GetOffTheCouch. 

Guest of Honor, SGT Noah Galloway, USA (Ret.)

SDIA is excited to welcome combat-wounded Army Veteran Sgt Noah Galloway as Guest of Honor at this year's Celebration on Saturday, October 9, 2021!

Guest of Honor, SGT Noah Galloway, USA (Ret.)

In a recent candid interview with John Rich of Fox Nation's "The Pursuit! with John Rich" show, Noah admits, "I went into Iraq with the mindset I might die. I was prepared to die. I wasn't prepared for the in-between."
Sgt Noah Galloway, a Birmingham, Alabama native, joined the Army because of the September 11 terrorist attacks. From the moment he joined, he loved his job and knew he'd retire an old Army guy or die in combat. However, in 2005 - just three months into his second tour of duty fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Humvee he was driving hit an improvised explosive device, throwing the 9,000 lb heavily armored vehicle across the road and into a canal. Noah lost his left arm above the elbow, his left leg above the knee, and suffered numerous other injuries requiring a lengthy and painful recovery and rehabilitation.  
But he had lost more than two limbs...he had lost his purpose...the job he loved. For five years he was in a deep depression and self-medicated with alcohol. When he finally accepted his losses and focused on what he had, Noah was able to fight his way out of his depression. In 2014 he was named Men's Health's "Ultimate Guy", and went on to become a finalist in Season 20 of "Dancing with the Stars". He is now a motivational speaker, and just released his book, "Living with No Excuses: The Remarkable Rebirth of an American Soldier."
