Name:Shadowbox Tour - Building for America's Bravest
Date:October 26, 2015
Time:5:00 PM - 7:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
Building for America’s Bravest is a program of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation that builds Smart Homes for our most catastrophically injured service members returning home. Each home is custom designed to address the unique needs of each individual. Energy efficient, automated and easily accessible—these homes use "adaptive technology" to help our most severely injured heroes live better, more independent lives. But as amazing as adaptive home technology is, it's far beyond the reach of most veterans and their modest pensions. The waiting list is long - and for every home we build, another three veterans join the list. When the call came, these brave service members went. They made extraordinary sacrifices in our place. Please help give them a home they can come home to.
On behalf of Stephen Siller Tunner to Towers Foundations, 9/11 first responder, Ray Thomas from the (FDNY), will travel across America to visit our store. During his visit, a shadowbox containing a piece of 9/11 steel from Ground Zero will be presented to the store; Ray Thomas will speak about his experience on 9/11. He also will take this opportunity to talk to everyone about the work they are doing with America's Bravest, and to encourage everyone to help raise funds to build homes for our deserving service members who have sacrificed so much for our country.
