Description:  The Seattle Stand Down, a premier project of One Less Mountain, is holding their first ever fundraiser on Saturday, May 30th, from 8:00am to 10:00am in Bellevue, WA.  Proceeds will benefit homeless and at-risk veterans in the Puget Sound throughout the year and at the next Seattle Stand Down on December 17th – 18th, 2015.  The Seattle Stand Down gives a hand up to our warriors to ensure all of our veterans are connected to the housing, employment, medical, social, and spiritual supports they need so they can enjoy a future with dignity.  http://www.theseattlestanddown.org/

Nate Boyer, former Green Beret and Seattle Seahawk longsnapper, will be on hand to meet with volunteers and supporters.  He is a vocal advocate for veterans and active supporter for #22Kill, a global movement to honor those who serve and to raise awareness about veteran suicide, and Caring for Camo, an organization founded at UT Austin to support men and women of the US Armed Forces with letters and care packages. His inspirational story has been highlighted on national media outlets around the countsry.  http://www.nateboyer.com/
