Victory Service Dogs is a Colorado Springs 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization. We help local disabled veterans, first responders, and children gain an improved quality of life through the partnership of a loving service dog.
This year, the tournament is being held to raise funds for both of our programs: Veterans & First Responders and VictoryKids.
Through each of these programs we provide customized, in-person service dog training lessons where we instruct clients on how to train their dog to be their service dog. The majority of these service dogs are trained to aid in the areas of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), MST (Military Sexual Trauma), Autism, Seizure Disorders and some physical mobility needs.
This year will mark our 7th anniversary as an organization and in August we will celebrate our 100th graduate team (service dog and client) from our Veterans & First Responder program.
The Veterans & First Responder program we are able to offer our clients for free, while VictoryKids does have a cost associated with it. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to fund free training for 2 veteran-dog teams and provide scholarships for 2 VictoryKids clients. Will you join us?

Military Band Aid National Softball Tournament

Military Band Aid National Softball Tournament

The Military Band-Aid Softball Tournament is the second largest military softball tournament in the world, and is hosted in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Being ranked as one of the top three military towns as well as being centrally located within the continental United States, it is just a natural fit for the tournament to continuously be hosted within the city.

The tournament was created specifically for medical personnel within the various military branches and was very successful and continuously grew year after year. In the late 1990's and early 2000's participation in the tournament had begun to decrease due to increased deployments of military personnel and the decrease in participation led to the invitation of first responders in 2003 which incorporated security forces and firefighters. In 2007 the tournament was finally opened to all military varsity teams, and was the turning point of the tournament.
