94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Sargeant’s Army CEO and founder Ashley Nevison says the organization, which the University of Louisville sophomore created when she was 12, has supported veterans across all 50 states and Washington D.C.
“We provide outerwear kits to our homeless veterans in the winter time, and then hygiene hope bags to those in need throughout the entire year, so we’re providing hope, kindness, and compassion across our country,” Nevison said.
Sargeant’s Army’s signature event is the No Soldiers Left Behind Project, which aims to distribute outerwear kits across the country each Veterans Day. You can support the effort by attending the inaugural American Heroes Gala, to be held at the University Club of Louisville on Saturday, June 6.
“We’d love to have as many people there, so that’s the biggest way they could support us, and then if they’re not able to come, we are running a promotion where you can sponsor a veteran seat to have them go in your place, and then if that’s not something they want to do they can also just donate to Sargeant’s Army,” Nevison said. “We are a 501C3, so every single donation is a tax deduction.”
Those attending and those not attending may also participate in the event’s silent auction. Nevison says funds from the gala will help the organization reach further.
“For the last two years, we’ve sent a total of 1,700, and this year I want to double that, so we want to send right under 3,000 outdoor kits to veterans in all 50 states,” Nevison said. “We send them to all 50 states every single year, but this year’s goal is to just send even more outdoor kits to hopefully help even more veterans.”
Thursday is the deadline to purchase tickets. Find the link to purchase tickets and more information at www.sargeantsarmy.org or on the Sargeant’s Army Facebook page.
