Elkhart County - Tickets still available for FreedomSystem.org's "Remember…. A Community Event to Benefit Local Veterans"
There’s still time to purchase tickets for "Remember… A Community Event to Benefit Local Veterans" will be held Saturday, May 20. The deadline to purchase tickets online will be Monday, May 15. A minimal number of tickets will be available at the door. The event will be held at 5 p.m. at the Goshen VFW Post No. 985, 1201 W. Pike St., Goshen.
This is FreedomSystem’s fifth annual event to bring awareness of military veteran programs in the area. Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit a building fund for a permanent home for FreedomSystem.Org’s programs. Titled “Remember” because the event date falls on or near D-Day Weekend, and how we should never forget our veteran’s past and present.
The evening will include dinner with music provided by Sam Brown. This year’s keynote speaker will be Casey Hendrickson, best known as Michiana’s News Talk Radio Show Host and US Army veteran.
At 8 p.m., there will be general admission for the auctions. On the auction block will be many items people will want and use: a mountain bike, a quilt, signage, and more…
Once again, there will be drawings for two firearms, a Smith & Wesson MP Shield E-Z 9 mm performance center enhanced weapon and a KelTec 12 gauge.
Winners will be sent to an FFL dealer working with FreedomSystem.Org to pick up their firearms.
Tickets are $30 per person, $50 per couple, or $200 for a table of 8. Tickets may be purchased by visiting https://freedomsystem.org/remember
