We are asking for your commitment to help us with associated costs while helping raise money for future events to benefit our veterans. At least 30% of all proceeds go to different veterans' charities and we are even now partnering with United Way to help veterans in need. Our goal is to make this annual event that will fund our mission for the year. This fundraiser will help fund our annual BBQ on Veterans Day, help us continue to be charitable to other veteran organizations, and provide monthly socials for veterans struggling with assimilating or needing comradery with fellow veterans. We ask that you please invite all veterans along with their spouse or significant other and join us for this fun and exciting event. To be a sponsor please choose one of our packages below.
