Mariotte, a Chairperson for the “Be The One” charity, a cause meant to
bring funding and awareness to prevent suicide throughout our first
reponders and verterans. JT talks about how they turned Oak Island into,
“Jordan Oaks Island '' and raised more than 40 thousand dollars at their
recent “Be The One” event.
In 2017, more firefighters and police officers died as a result of suicide

difference in this statistic by training and pairing service animals to our
heroes with the money raised. In addition, JT believes that it is vitally
