The City of Westfield has donated $4,000 to the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation (HVAF). The money was raised at this year’s Grand Run held on Memorial Day at the Grand Park Sports Campus.
“The freedoms we celebrate in this country came with great sacrifice,” said Westfield Mayor Andy Cook. “This donation is a small token of our deep appreciation. I would challenge all Westfield residents to honor our service men and women by remembering the sacrifices made and supporting the work of organizations like the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation.”
This year, the Grand Run, in its fifth year, featured an inaugural half marathon as well 5K,10K and a kids fun run. More than 500 people participated in the event.
HVAF helps homeless veterans return to self-sufficiency and engages at risk veterans to prevent them from becoming homeless by providing supportive housing, case management, food, hygiene and clothing as well as other essential services. For more information, visit hvafofindiana.org.
