SDIA 2024 Heroes Gala
Every year all of us at Sheep Dog Impact Assistance look forward to celebrating our nation’s heroes and the all we have been blessed to accomplish with friends, members, supporters, donors and sponsors at our annual Heroes Gala. It’s been a couple of year’s since we’ve been able to host this event, and we are VERY excited to be hosting it again on April 27, 2024!
The Sheep Dog Nation Podcast, Episode 4 is Out Now!
Hosted by SDIA founder and CEO, Lance Nutt, this episode features Gold Star Widow Sharri Briley as she talks about the final mission of her husband, CWO3 Donovan “Bull” Briley.
SHEEP DOG OF THE YEAR AWARDS
This award is an important way to recognize those among us who have gone above and beyond their call of duty in their military or first responder professions (law enforcement, fire & rescue, and EMS/paramedic). These awards are presented to Sheep Dogs who have modeled exemplary and/or heroic service during 2023. Although a single heroic incident may be worthy of consideration, special consideration is given to those nominees who have distinguished themselves and their profession throughout their careers.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays
What may appear to be just fun and games provides a much-needed sense of belonging and purpose for those who feel isolated, depressed, lonely, anxious, or even suicidal. Together, we can make even more of a difference in the lives of our nation’s military and first responders in 2024.

Kilimanjaro: Climb for a Cause 2023
Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is honored to be part of Sam's Furniture's Kilimanjaro Climb for a Cause.The "Kili Climb for a Cause" climbing team, sponsored by Sam’s Furniture in Springdale, Arkansas, includes owner and veteran Joe Donaldson, and ten fellow Veterans - two of which are Purple Heart recipients.
The Marangu route, also known as the “Coca-Cola” route, is the oldest, most well established route on Kilimanjaro. Many favor Marangu because it is considered to be the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope and direct path. However the short time frame of the route makes altitude acclimatization fairly difficult. The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southeast.
The morning of July 27 the Kili Climb team stepped off on the Marangu Route and five days later summited!
Day One: The Sheep Dog Climbers completed their first day of climbing and staged at their first camp -...
