Memorial Day Weekend Event Raises Awareness and Money for Military Personnel Returning from Iraq and Afghanistan
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 25, 2010 -- The Evan Ashcraft Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization, is hosting a “Casino Night” fundraiser to benefit veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Foundation serves military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and their families. The event is symbolically scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, a time when Americans honor those who have served, or continue to serve, for the United States military.
“Our military men and women have given their lives, their limbs, their well-being and their futures in carrying out a mission that our government sent them to do in Iraq and Afghanistan—in our name,” says Jane Bright, Co-Founder of the Evan Ashcraft Foundation. “They are coming home in boxes and on stretchers. Many are coming home physically intact but terribly injured by unseen wounds of war—post-traumatic stress disorder.”
The Evan Ashcraft Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, helps soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan adjust to civilian life.The Evan Ashcraft Foundation’s Casino Night will occur on Saturday, May 29, from 6:00-10:00 p.m. Taking place at the Woodland Hills Country Club in the San Fernando Valley, the special event will feature a silent auction, raffle prizes, casino gaming tables, and food.
