Regency Newcastle Senior Living Center and The Golf Club at Newcastle sponsor a “Happy Hour” for Veterans. All are welcome, but we buy a couple of drinks for the Vets! If you are a Vet, you are welcome, let us know what branch and vehicle, boat, ship, plane, copter or IKEA desk you used during your service! If you support and appreciate our veterans you are welcome to come and thank one! Vets from WW2 to Afghanistan will be in attendance.

Pat’s Run is the signature fundraising event for the Pat Tillman Foundation. Held annually in April at Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium, the event attracts more than 35,000 participants, volunteers and spectators from across the country. Together they Run, Walk and Honor Pat’s legacy while raising important funds to support the programs created to pay tribute to his commitment to leadership and service.

If you are unable to participate in the 8th Annual Pat’s Run in Tempe on Saturday, April 21, 2012, you can still Run, Walk and Honor. Proceeds from Pat’s Run directly support the Tillman Military Scholars program.

Through a partnership with the ASU Alumni Association, Pat’s Run Shadow Runs will be held in cities across the country on or near April 21.

Pat’s Run Shadow Runs are casual, fun runs held in community parks, schools and recreational areas. Register online and select the Shadow Run team representing the city you wish to participate in.

I want to thank everyone who made it out to the Gears of War 3 release party on Friday 9/23. It was a great event and we raised over $450 for the Seattle Stand-down which benefits homeless vets in the Seattle area.

I also want to add a special thanks to Dennis for setting up this event, Sam  from the Seattle Stand-Down, Scott from Epic Games for providing awesome prizes, and Lisa from Amazon for donating the Kindle that one lucky vet went home with. It was a great event and we look forward to doing more with these fine folks.

For more information on the Seattle Stand-down please visit there page.

Also Epic Games has put up a page on their community site showcasing our event as well as other with veterans.

Here are a few photos from the event.
