Ballard Eagleson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3063
"No One Does More for Veterans"
Comrade Tiffany Cavin organized a handful of members to distribute Buddy Poppies and flags at the Ballard Farmer’s Market April 28. It was a great success so there are plans to make this a monthly event. If you’re interested in volunteering, contact [email protected].
Comrades Teeter and Basher joined the Run as One run around Green Lake April 13, 2019. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow veterans from Team RWB, the Mission Continues and Team Rubicon.
Comrades Potts and Tiffany organized and held two fundraisers at the post Mar. 16, 2019. The first fundraiser was an Irish stew feast that included game hunted by Potts in Texas. Chef Kay and her team of volunteers cooked the stew and fixings. Proceeds from the stew feast were to benefit a group of veterans traveling to Washington, D.C. in May.
The second fundraiser, aptly called Shamrocks & Shenanigans, featured three bands. Proceeds from the concerts benefited Post 3063’s Relief Fund, which benefits a variety of causes for local veterans in need. Overall the events were a success not only for raising money, but bringing members of the community together for a couple of good causes.
