Help us bring registered therapy dogs to the 2026 Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) Annual Conference in Columbus, OH by snagging some great therapy dog gear!

The POMC Conference is attended by family and friends of those who have been killed by violence. The POMC Conference is designed to be an empowering event for attendees, but it brings up plenty of difficult topics and the dogs provide an incredible amount of comfort for them as they participate. Therapy dog teams have been attending the POMC Conference since 2008. To find out more about POMC, visit www.pomc.org.

Therapy dog teams attend as volunteers and personally cover all of their own expenses including transportation, hotel accommodations, and conference registration fees. As cost of travel soars, we are looking to help offset some of the expense for our teams who are traveling long distances to be able to attend and do the incredibly important work that they do at this important conference.

Monetary donations are being accepted through PayPal: @POMComfortDogs or [email protected].

This year the 2026 POMC Conference will be held July 23-26 in Columbus, OH. All monies raised will go directly toward our volunteer's expenses for the conference. Should there be any excess, all funds will be donated to the POMC organization.
