Dinner Fundraiser

Sept 9, 2025


Our annual event was held on Sept 6, 2025 and was a huge success.  There are so many to thank.  I will start with our Sponsors:  Mueller's Funeral Home, Visiting Angels, Central Plateau Cleanup Company, GESA Credit Union, O'Brien Construction, Double Eagle Ranch, Columbia Basin Veteran's Center, Lampson, Platinum Automotive Services, Specialty Mobility, and Desert Wind Winery.  Additional sponsors include Kevin Veleke, Jim Witt, Don Wicks, Irene Huerkens, and Chuck/Teresa Forrester.  


We had an amazing planning team: Al Younker, Steve Aman, Chad Refalt, Barb McDonald, KayCe Tost, Jim Witt, Don Wicks, Annette McGehee, Larry Larson, Kevin Veleke, Mike Dotson, Bob Failor, Teresa Forrester, Warren Aaberg, Chuck Forrester, and Rick Tyrrell. This team put in a year of hard work to make this event great.  A special thanks goes out to Annette McGehee and KayCe Tost for their hard work on our new system for the event and for their work during the Check-in and Check-our Process.  We really appreciate the patience of the attendees as we worked through a few opportunities in this area.  


We had so many gracious donations from the community with led to an amazing Silent and Live auction.  Thank you so much to the generosity of this community.  


The community support was awesome as we had approximately 200 people at the event including a great demonstration by the Kennewick High Air Force JROTC Team.  We also had several local officials present including Kennewick Mayor Gretl Crawford.


We really appreciate the work of Kevin Veleke on the various memorials in the area and for his special recognition of Greg Ford.  Lastly, we had a most amazing guest speaker, Reand State Senator Matt Boehnke.  


Planning is already beginning on the 2026 Event.  Mark your calendars as our next event will be held at the Three Rivers Convention Center on September 19, 2026.
