Funds raised during S.O.S. donated to Wounded Warrior Project
The S.O.S. (Save Our Servicemem-bers) event, which was held on Father’s Day at the Olde Fish House Marina, raised $2,285 for the Wounded Warrior Project.
An approximate 600-700 people attended the S.O.S. event June 17.
Jim and Marie Normandin of Q&O Photo House, as well as the organizers of the event, sent the final contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project Friday morning.
They both thought the event was extremely successful and agreed that it will be held again early next year. Right now the tentative dates are set for either February or March.
