Part of the proceeds from this event will be used to fund the very first Heroes Memorial Scholarship at the Kent State University Ashtabula Campus. This will be the Eugene Raymond Platano Memorial Scholarship, recognizing Mr. Platano for his service to our country and his community. He served in the Vietnam War as an airborne infantryman with the elite 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Come out and join us on June 22, 2024 for our second annual minigolf outing. The event will be held at Red Mill Golf Center in Perry, Ohio. Tickets include a pizza and/or sub lunch and refreshments. We will, of course, have a Chinese auction with great prizes and another fun guest to entertain the kids (last year was Skipper).
We recognize our top donors, volunteers, and supporting contractors. This year's event will be held at the Lake County Captains game on August 4th at 1 . We will have a larger suite for our guests, and of course we'll be setup on the main concourse to provide information about our organization to all fans who stop by. We look forward to having another silent auction with some autographed sports items from your favorite Cleveland team.
We're here to help veterans and first responders. Reach out to us for support or to learn more about our programs. Let's honor our heroes together.
