2nd Annual Veterans Benefit Voyage
Last year, we unveiled LVRR 9050 & LVRR 9052 - our Military Units with a goal to use the locomotives to help raise money for nonprofit organizations that support and help Veterans. We are excited to announce that on November 1st of this year, LVRR 9050 and LVRR 9052 will, again, be providing passenger rides from Hufnagle Park in Lewisburg, PA. 100% of the ticket sales from the rides will go to Central PA Wreaths Across America (50%) and Heroes & Horses (50%).
Central PA Wreaths Across America (WAA)
Several years ago, a small group of Central Pennsylvania individuals formed a consortium of like-minded people to HONOR, REMEMBER, and TEACH future generations about the brave men and women that signed their name on the dotted line to protect and defend our freedoms. Each December, through Wreaths Across America, 30 local communities gather to lay wreaths and say the name of each Veteran buried in participating cemeteries. The mission is growing each year! Together, they work as one to raise funds for this endeavor, promoting the vision to include more communities as we draw the region together to pay tribute to Central PA heroes. WAA’s main goal is to ensure that veterans buried in cemeteries that have joined our consortium receive wreaths during the nationwide Wreaths Across America Day. They also promote the national campaign of REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those who serve, and TEACH our children the value of freedom.
Heroes & Horses (H&H)
Heroes & Horses was developed to serve our Veterans. They work to help improve lives of our Nation’s heroes through connection with horses. Whether it’s through riding (which is optional) or just hanging out and grooming, H&H has developed this program to assist Veterans and show just what horses have to offer - in ways of healing the mind, body, and soul. H&H uses their horses to help Veterans identify their anxiety (sometimes when they don't know they have it). 2025 is H&H’s 10-Year Anniversary. In those 10 years, their program has saved nine Veterans' lives. No Veteran is charged for our services and the H&H’s horse farm sets aside funds for meals for Veterans.
In addition to the train rides, we will be selling merchandise featuring the Military locomotives. 100% of the profits from these sales will be added to the proceeds from the train rides.
Come out to Lewisburg, PA, on Saturday, November 1st, to show support for these amazing organizations!
