Veterans benefit ball raises $900
Helping a Hero, a benefit ball at Chadron State College, raised $900 for military veterans service organizations.
The CSC Public Relations and War Eagle clubs sponsored the event Dec. 2 to help create awareness for veterans. The proceeds are going toward the American Legion Auxiliary’s effort to provide care items at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Hot Springs, S.D., as well as the new Women of War shelter for women veterans and their children at Belle Fourche, S.D.
The ball featured music of the Shon Townsend Band of Alliance. Speakers were First Lt. Franklin Annis of the CSC ROTC program and Lou Marshall of the Chadron American Legion Auxiliary post.
The two campus clubs also displayed stories about veterans, including those that had been submitted that week for a “story wall” and those of CSC’s World War II Veterans Exhibition.
