\nCompany raising and sponsoring Cooper, a future service dog, as part of the Puppy with a Purpose program<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA) announced today that is has joined the Puppy with a Purpose program<\/a>, in collaboration with America\u2019s VetDogs, to help a puppy become a future service dog for a veteran or first responder with a disability.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are proud to participate in the Puppy with a Purpose program, as part of our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of people in the disabilities community and their caregivers,\u201d said Kevin Silva, executive vice president and chief human resources officer. \u201cThis is part of Voya\u2019s strong belief in giving back to our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJohn Albanese, vice president of corporate security and investigations at Voya Financial and a Marine Corps veteran, will spend approximately the next 12 months raising the Voya puppy to prepare him for the next steps of his training. Cooper will learn additional tasks that are helpful to a person with a disability. Voya is covering costs associated with the raising of the puppy as he begins his journey to become a future service dog.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs a veteran myself, I knew this was a unique chance to make a difference in someone\u2019s life,\u201d said Albanese. \u201cVoya encourages employees to give back to causes we care about and offers the support to do so \u2014 that\u2019s what makes Voya a different kind of company.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAmerica\u2019s VetDogs and its sister organization, The Guide Dog Foundation, specialize in placing highly skilled service and guide dogs to individuals with physical injuries, PTSD, hearing and vision loss, and seizures. All services are provided at no cost. Sully, President George H. W. Bush\u2019s former service dog, who is currently working as part of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center\u2019s Facility Dog Program, was raised, trained and placed by America\u2019s VetDogs. Cooper joins other high-profile service dogs, including the Washington Capitals\u2019 Biscuit, Atlanta United\u2019s King, WBAL\u2019s Tucker, Houston Texans\u2019 Kirby, New York Islanders\u2019 Monte and the New York Mets\u2019 Shea.<\/p>\n
