GREATER MONMOUTH CHAPTER CHAPTER - May 15, 2013 |
Joining Forces for Homeless Veterans |
The chapter and the Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center (VA TAC) joined forces in May to co-sponsor the VA2K Walk for Homeless Veterans. The event, held at Wolcott Park in Eatontown, New Jersey, aimed to encourage employees at all levels of fitness to join in a fun, short walk while benefiting homeless veterans. Sixty-five participants organized at 11:30 a.m. to register and drop off donations. The TAC's associate executive director gave a brief speech to welcome and thank all the participants. A group photo was taken and then everyone proceeded to walk the 2K course. To date, the chapter has collected 261 articles of clothing in support of veterans for a total of approximately $2,500. |
