Money Raised For Veterans Forward

The Veterans Forward radiothon and car show successfully raised $29,298 for veterans’ support. The car show featured 700 vehicles. The funds will help veterans with housing, food, and partner organizations like Amber’s Paws of Hope for service dogs. Veterans Forward bridges gaps with smaller donations, providing immediate needs like hotel rooms and campers through partners like Booth Bay Vets. Jeff Pierce, a board member, emphasized the importance of sustainable donations and thanked Bill Dodge Auto Group for their support. He encouraged listeners to visit veteransforward.org to make regular contributions.
