May Newsletter: Honoring Service, Strengthening Support

As Memorial Day approaches, the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation pauses to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. This time of remembrance reminds us why our mission matters: supporting the programs, services, and facilities that serve Virginia’s veterans and their families across the Commonwealth.

This month, we are proud to recognize VFW Post 10574, William I. Cooper Memorial Post, for their generous support of the Foundation. Their significant donation reflects a continued commitment to honoring and serving veterans, and we are grateful for their partnership in strengthening the work being done through the Virginia Department of Veterans Services.

We also invite our supporters to join us for two upcoming events benefiting the Foundation:

GStek 30th Annual Golf Fundraiser
Friday, May 29 | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Chesapeake Golf Club
A full day of golf and community support in honor of Virginia’s veterans.

Bull Run Harley-Davidson Poker Run
Saturday, May 30 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Hosted by Bull Run Harley-Davidson and the Manassas HOG Chapter, this charity ride will benefit the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation. Registration runs from 9:30–11:00 AM, with awards at 3:15 PM. A rain date is scheduled for June 6.

Thank you to all of our donors, partners, and community supporters who continue to invest in Virginia’s veterans. Your generosity helps ensure that those who served receive the care, support, and recognition they deserve.
