“SALUTE TO OUR MILITARY PAST AND PRESENT”
Veterans fundraising events to benefit Wish for Our Heroes are complete. Wish for Our Heroes is a national 501(c)(3) organization that grants wishes around the world. Through 2023, Wish for Our Heroes has provided more than $30 million in assistance to our heroes, across all 50 states and 4 foreign nations (where U.S. troops are serving). One hundred percent of all proceeds from the 2024 weekend activities benefit Wish for Our Heroes.
Many thanks to the community members of Burnt Store Marina who have supported Wish for Our Heroes through their generosity, volunteer work, and participation in these events. What once started over a dinner conversation has grown into a weekend of fundraising events here in Burnt Store Marina.
All Events Are Open to the Public
Come join the volunteers who make these events possible, for some entertainment and drink specials to kick off the weekend at the Pre party, Friday, November 8, from 6 – 9 p.m. at Cass Cay Restaurant.
Then, beginning at 8 a.m., get up early on Saturday, November 9, to show your patriotism, and watch Cliff Behney, flag-bearer, as he marches down Islamorada Boulevard, carrying the American flag – from the main entrance of Burnt Store Marina to Cass Cay Restaurant. We encourage those interested to march with him, or follow him by golf cart, and join us at the Veteran’s Day Breakfast immediately following.
The Veteran’s Day Breakfast, Saturday, November 9 at Cass Cay Restaurant. This event is held every year to honor our Veterans who served our country. Even if you are not a veteran, please join us in honoring and remembering those who have given so much for our freedom. Tickets for Veterans are just $6, and non-veterans $15.
Plan to join us that evening for the Heroes Dinner at Cass Cay Restaurant, Saturday, November 9. We will have great entertainment from Single Shot Steve Flagg, great food, 50/50, auctions and more.
