Default SHOOT FOR HEROS-I could use some help

Guys if we have any Florida Marines, we could use some help......
South Florida Gun School, In connection with YEMX, The Fraternal Order of Marines, will be hosting a charity event "SHOOT FOR OUR HEROS" at Okeechobee Shooting Sports on a Saturday late in January. All money will be donated for the "Mission Statement of YMEX". We will be looking for donations for raffles, sponsors for the event and folks to work the tables. South Florida Gun School will setting up shooting fields, providing instructors and giving classes and tips throughout the day. It will be from open to close.
PM me if you have an organization that can either donate raffle items, food or drinks. Or if you just want to be involved.
Marine Corps League 1085 and American Legion Post 152 will hopefully be involved.
Keep an eye on your messages for time and dates.
YEMX's mission Statement

Mission
Mission: YEMX Inc. will seek to raise awareness about the effects of PTSD afflicting Marines and Corpsmen who served with Marines who are veterans of the Vietnam, Iraqi and Afghanistan wars.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
