Imagine the serenity of a quiet forest, the soothing sound of a crackling campfire, and the crisp, fresh air filling your lungs. For our veterans, many of whom have faced unimaginable challenges, these moments of peace can be life-changing.

Why This Event Matters:

Our veterans have served selflessly, often sacrificing their well-being for the safety and freedom of others. Yet, after their service, many veterans face challenges in reconnecting with their communities and finding spaces where they feel understood and valued. "Operation Peaceful Retreat" is our way of giving back, providing a space where veterans can unwind, share stories, and build new connections in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

This event isn’t just about camping—it’s about creating a sense of belonging. With fun games, icebreakers, delicious food, and a live DJ setting the mood, we’re crafting an evening that will bring veterans together, helping them form bonds that can last a lifetime.

How You Can Help:

Your donation will help cover the costs of food, entertainment, and event essentials. Every dollar goes directly towards giving our veterans a night to remember:

$25 will cover meals and drinks for one veteran, ensuring they enjoy nourishing food and refreshing beverages.
$50 will provide supplies for games and outdoor excursions, adding fun and excitement to their camping experience.
$150 will go toward a comfortable tent, cot, and sleeping bag, giving them a restful place to recharge under the stars.
$500 will help us cover event rental space, DJ entertainment, additional restroom rentals and other necessary overhead items.

This retreat will be filled with laughter, fun, games, comedy, delicious food, and the warmth of family-like camaraderie. It's an opportunity for our veterans to leave behind their worries, if only for a few days, and return to their lives with renewed hope and strength.
