Mental Illness affects 1 out of every 5 people!
My name is Jeff Belonger (OEDL member & past board member), and I have lost two veteran friends & one civilian friend to suicide! As a Combat Engineer Army veteran, my passion & goal is to end suicide! There are approximately 22 veterans a day who commit suicide!
I am raising funds to donate to the Philly Vet Center (helps veterans & their families) & NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness - helps civilian families & veterans)!
I am holding a dart shoot at Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse on May 11th (upstairs). Sign-ups start at noon. There will be FREE food (supplied by Cav's Rittenhouse), discounted drink & beers specials, raffles (many different kinds of prizes), 50/50, t-shirts & more!
The entry cost is 20 matchsticks! 2 person teams & Chicago style format best of 3. 50% will be donated to the organizations mentioned about. The other 50% will be split. 60% to the winning team & 40% to the 2nd place team. You can actually sign up prior to May 11th (see link below). If signing up ahead of time, you can Venmo $20.50 (covers Venmo business fee) to @MentalHealthDartClassic (see photos for QR code). Early Sign-up - https://challonge.com/MHDC2024
You can register online (now) or in-person on May 11th at Cav's from noon until 1 pm. Darts will fly at 1:15 pm.
