In June 2013, as part of the “Atlantic City Festival of Speed” we wanted to incorporate a way to “give back.” We have successfully given back to the community with our Shore Dreams For Kids event for over the last 12 years. So we collaboratively came up with the idea of inviting 38 Combat Wounded Veterans and their immediate families to come down to the Golden Nugget for the day. It was a huge success! This year we are inviting 100 Combat Wounded Veterans as well as active military members and their families to attend!
Combat Wounded Veterans Of America (CWVA) is a veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, service and events for Combat Wounded Veterans veterans of the military. CWVA's is to ensure that all our nations verified combat wounded veterans be properly recognized, honored, and supported for their sacrifices.
We are looking for boat owners to donate 1, 2 or 3 rides on Saturday afternoon of July 18th 2016 to a Combat Wounded Veteran or active military member. We cannot think of a better way to say THANK YOU to all of the amazing men and women who selflessly served our country overseas defending our country and our freedoms. While your participation is purely optional we hope in your heart you'll feel differently. Later in the day we will host a reception for the Combat Wounded Veterans Of America with complimentary beer, wine and hors devours. All of the generous people who volunteered their boats and time are invited to attend!
