Hometown Heroes Benefit for Local Military Families

Please join the Burton Area Jaycees at Shermans Lounge on Sunday May 18 from 1 to 5 PM for our Hometown Heroes Benefit to help support local military families.

Every day, our Service members make incredible sacrifices and put themselves in harm’s way for the sake of us all. They do not make these sacrifices alone. When our troops are called to action, so too are their families.

In their unconditional support and care for of those in harm’s way, military families show us what words like “service,” “strength,” and “sacrifice” truly mean.

They sustain the troops that are defending America, tend for our wounded warriors, and survive our fallen. Military families – spouses and children alike – remind us that with everything these families do to serve our country, in turn their nation has an obligation to serve them.

Help us support military families living here in Michigan, by joining us at Sherman's Lounge on Sunday, May 18, 2014 from 1:00 to 5:00 P.M.

Performing live will be Two O'Clock High.

Admission to this event will be a $5 donation or an amenity (i.e. personal hygiene item, cleaning/laundry items, dry snacks, word/puzzle books) which will be donated to the families of Michigan soldiers. 

We will also be selling raffle tickets for prizes (to cover shipping costs) and Shermans Lounge will be donating half of their food sales during this event to help with this great cause. 

We hope you are able to join us in supporting our soldiers and their families while enjoying some good music and good food with friends and family.
