SUMMARY:Veterans Care Trust Golf Outing Fundraiser (Wisconsin Dells/Trappers Turn)
DESCRIPTION:Wings Over the Fairway – Veterans Care Trust Golf Outing\nThe Veterans Care Trust Fund is dedicated to addressing the unique needs of our rural Wisconsin veterans\, active military personnel\, and their families. We aim to fill the gaps in overlooked services and resources. \nThe Veterans Care Trust Fund\, founded in 1988\, is a testament to unwavering support for veterans and their families. The journey of our veterans is fraught with challenges. These may include economic hardships\, trauma\, mental health conditions\, and social isolation\, all of which increase the risk of housing instability and homelessness. Despite substantial federal investments in research and data collection\, rural communities like ours often lack the necessary funding to support veterans at the community level. Our fund is a crucial GAP filler\, addressing these pressing local needs. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER BY May 18! \nFOR MORE INFORMATION\, write to veteranscaretrustfund@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Resiliency Movie Screening: "Brothers After War"
DESCRIPTION:Movie Screening: Friday\, February 28\, 2025\, 11:00 a.m. \nMarcus Palace Cinema\, Sun Prairie. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT \nBrothers After War is a follow-up to the 2013 movie Brothers At War. The new movie follows up with the Service Members from the original filming in Iraq and stateside. THE BROTHERS AT WAR RESILIENCY PROGRAM evolved from the real world experience of screening the documentary for numerous groups of returning American Service Members and their families. The overwhelming positive response to the film and to the filmmaker made it clear that the Rademacher family had become a microcosm of all of our war fighters and their families. As such\, it became apparent to us that creating a Resiliency program as a supplement to and an inducement to the utilization of existing veterans resources\, was a logical next step. \nPresented by Brothers After War and the Gary Sinise Foundation.
