The fundraiser this year is for IndependenceFund.org. The fund provides tools, therapies and resources to America’s combat wounded veterans. You can check out their 2015 annual report on line. The fund is best known for its “Track Chairs,” which are all-terrain wheelchairs that allow the veterans to go almost anywhere, including hunting and stream fishing, so they can have a more normal life.

Join us for an evening of food, and fun, and don’t forget your hat!
