Military Appreciation Mondays Supports Yellow Ribbon fund.
-‐ Come join us at The Old Brogue in Great Falls on Monday January 30th for this month’s MAM event to help raise funds and awareness for the Yellow Ribbon Fund. All you have to do is show up and eat. Bob Nelson and his cosponsors will each donate a 10 percent match of whatever you spend on dinner. In November, 220% of the receipts were donated to the group Stop Soldier Suicide.
About the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
–The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in 2005 to assist our injured service members and their families while they recuperate at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Their mission began when the father of an injured Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.
–In five years, contributions made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided the following for injured service members and their families: over 1,100 free rental cars spanning 49,000 free rental car days; over 16,000 free taxi rides; over 7,300 free hotel room nights; and 46 families have had use of YRF’s four apartments for almost 6,000 nights; and hundreds of free tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts, fishing trips, and other activities.
Be sure to make reservations for either the 5:30 or 7:30 seating by calling:
