The fourth annual Vision for Veterans 5k is going to be here before we know it! May 20, 2011 is the big day at Firestone Park in Columbiana, Ohio. The event is making a donation of funds to Fisher House at Wright Patterson Air Force Base an organization we have donated to two previous years. Also this year funds are being raised to help local veterans with projects around their home that they cannot afford to take care of on their own. This year's event has all of its operating expenses covered but we (my husband Josh and I) are still in need of the funding to help the local veterans. Our first project is going to be helping a homeowner that is in need of a wheelchair ramp! Estimates are $2,500 for a ramp!!! If we can move beyond that we have a family that needs a new roof!
Thank you to our current list of sponsors: Barborak for Change, Butech Bliss, B & J Electric, Jim Henderson, RoadID, JR Entertainment, Abundant Life, Dick's Sporting Goods, Firestone Park, Udder Cream, Amvets Post #45, George Siembida Construction, DPS Penn, Mark Stahl Photography, Cleveland Browns, and Lisbon Ruritan. Without each of these sponsors our event would not have grown and continued to be a success!!! If you would like to be added to the list of sponsors at whatever level please get in touch with us!!! Check out our website www.visionforveterans.org being that it is a newer website we still have a lot of work to go and if you cannot find something you are looking for please contact us!!!
We are also ahead of the game for event day registries so far this year. We have a 5k walk, 5k run, a toddler trot, and a kid's run. Plus we will have activities for the kid's to participate in this year during the whole event. A few games, probably some crafts, etc... Junior League of Youngstown is planning on helping with the children.
