CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Independence Fund proudly presents “Beyond the Call” luncheon, a fundraising event dedicated to honoring and supporting the Caregivers of our nation’s wounded Veterans. Join the event on May 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM at the Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina. Individual tickets and larger sponsorships can be purchased here.
“We understand Caregivers play a vital role in supporting the health and wellness of our Veterans,” says Sarah Verardo, CEO of The Independence Fund. “Our Beyond the Call luncheon will spotlight the impactful stories of some of our nation’s heroes behind the heroes and help us continue providing connection and empowerment in caregiving through small group retreats.”
May is recognized as the Month of the Military Caregiver, a time set aside to honor and highlight the critical role of those who selflessly care for wounded, injured, and ill service members. These individuals often balance numerous responsibilities, acting simultaneously as Caregivers, providers, and advocates. May also serves as Mental Health Awareness Month, emphasizing the significance of supporting the mental health of Caregivers and Veterans alike.
The Independence Fund recognizes the vital importance of providing support through various services and programs, such as our Caregiver program. This initiative offers respite and fosters camaraderie for individuals who devote themselves to the daily care of our Veterans. Through events like this luncheon, The Independence Fund aims to spotlight these often-overlooked heroes and raise funds to sustain programs that assist and uplift caregivers.
