Kristine Jones
Fundraising & Events Chair
Meet Kristine Jones
With 14 years of experience in event planning, Kristine brings passion and expertise to Heroes United as the Fundraising and Events Chair. Growing up with dogs and as a lifelong animal lover, she finds it especially heartwarming to see rescued dogs enter the training program and find homes with the heroes who need them most.
Having witnessed firsthand the sacrifices of veterans and first responders—especially through her family members Austin Castle and Jason Manley, who have served their country—Kristine understands the profound impact of their service on everyday life. Her deep personal connection to the mission fuels her dedication to creating impactful fundraising events that support Heroes United’s work in providing trained therapy dogs to those who have served.
