WHEELING, W.Va. (WTRF) – It’s a 10-year anniversary that promises to be a big party for a great cause.
Helping Heroes is celebrating the anniversary of its “A Night to Remember” fundraiser.
For the past decade it’s raised money for the programs Helping Heroes provides for homeless veterans and other veteran families.
This year’s event will be on May 19 at River City.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and the party starts at 5:30 p.m.
While it will follow some of the traditions of years past, there are also a few surprises in store.
Co-Founder Jeremy Harrison said the community has always supported this event, but this year it’s even more exciting with the ongoing renovations to the future home of Helping Heroes on 16th Street in Wheeling.
“Every single year at this event we make more money than the previous year. We always have more people than we had the previous year. The support over the years has just been unbelievable and we’re hoping that this year continues the same path.”
