The boards were intentionally designed to be used either on the floor or on a table top, ensuring every Veteran regardless of mobility can join the fun. This donation also offers a meaningful way for our Veterans to socialize and stay active while enjoying friendly competition.
Veteran Reunion Sponsor
What an honor to host our first Veteran Reunion. We provided housing and meals. On day one, our Veterans enjoyed a fishing charter with a Marine Veteran at Reel Easy. On day two, they went to the shooting range and lunch at Lake Erie Arms where each of our Veterans completed the Scorpion Slayer Challenge!
Golf Scramble Sponsor
We’re proud to share that our friends at Bennett Trucking–who have supported our foundation by sponsoring and honoring the Fallen 13 on their semi trailer and bringing it to our annual golf scramble–recently hosted a golf scramble of their own in Georgia. Our foundation sponsored a team of Veterans and covered their entry fee for the event.
Business Renovations
Our commitment to Veterans goes beyond just one event. One of the Veterans we sponsored recently purchased a local historic property. Because of the property’s unique history, extensive updates were needed before it could open as an event space and small business. We were honored to help him reach that goal. It’s inspiring to see this space being revitalized and turned into a place for the community to gather and make memories.
Lunch Sponsor
Supporting our Veterans on the Green. We had the incredible opportunity to meet with the Veteran Golfers Association at the local Veteran Golf Scramble at Green Springs Golf Course–and we were proud to sponsor lunch for the participants.
