Boy Scouts Of America Troop 132 will be holding an event to bring awareness to veteran suicides. Matthew Sleboda, the committee chair, says that they were looking for events they could do for the upcoming year and thought this would be a good way to bring awareness to an important topic.
Sleboda says this is important because a lot of people don’t realize how much suicide impacts Veterans.
The event is set to take place on Sunday, November 8th at 8 AM at Manners Park in Taylorville. Donations will be received throughout the day.
Donations will in turn be donated to the Honor Flight and the VFW. The Veterans crisis line is 1-800-273-8255.
