Home » Blog » Military Veterans Raise Money at Run for the Warriors

For the second year in a row, Shelton resident Lauren Cust, a wounded warrior from Operation Iraqi Freedom, and her Derby/Shelton AMVETS Post 43 team were the top fundraisers for the (Fifth) Annual Sunset Run For The Warriors held at the Huntington Green on Aug. 17.

Lauren was the top individual fundraiser and AMVETS Post 43 was the top team fundraiser with $1,445 donated for the race.

Post 43 has over 30 female veteran members and over 50 Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)/Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans out of a total of 150 members.

The mission of Hope For The Warriors is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty.

Veterans and non-veterans are invited to join future AMVETS Post 43 teams. For more information, check out the CT AMVETS Post 43 Facebook page.
