A local veteran-led nonprofit group, Healing Paws for Warriors, will be hosting a September 22 community awareness event, Active Duty & Veterans’ Suicide Awareness Rally, at Ye Olde Brother’s Brewery in Holley.
“We lose 22-plus veterans/active duty every day to suicide. One veteran, every 65 minutes…one is too many,” said HP4W Spokeswoman Sheila Hale.
This year’s event includes food by Ye Olde Brothers Brewery, Culver’s Ice Cream, live music by Group Therapy DSD and raffles, including a 3-day get away from ResortQuest Gulf Coast. HP4W Vet/K9 teams will also be on the premises, and event t-shirt will be given the first 50-tickets sold.
