A client of mine is a founding member of this group and it is a great cause, I though I would post this if anyone is interested. I have heard some great hunting stories from these guys concerning trips they have taken with our wounded service men.
WWO Friends,
Our 2012 “Cocktails For a Cause” fundraiser is just a couple of days away. The event will take place this Thursday evening from 5:30-8:00 PM. The event will again be hosted and sponsored by Cole Whitaker and the Memberhip of the University Club in downtown Orlando. There is no cost for admission to the event and all proceeds will benefit WWO and our mission of helping our recently Wounded Warriors navigate their healing journey. We have over $80,000.00 of donated items that will be sold in a Silent Auction format Thursday evening. I have attached a list of auction items as of this morning. Additional items will be added prior to the event.
Hope to see you all Thursday evening! The monies that we will raise this week will allow WWO to help our most deserving young servicemen in 2012. Please feel free to forward this information on to your list of contacts, everyone is welcome. As always thank you for your support of our Wounded Warriors.
Have a great day.
Best Regards,
Ron Raboud
