A HUGE Honor Flight Syracuse shoutout to the Whitney family and everyone with VFW Post 7325 in Constantia! Take a close look at that big check: A $30,266.30 donation! The biggest single donation in 11 years from the Annual Poker Run! – it’s just amazing what they’ve done to support our Veterans over the past 11 years!
This pushes their 11-year fund raising total for HFS to $158,413.00! We can’t say thank you loudly enough to Scott Whitney, who founded the Poker Run in 2015. His sister Natalie Dodson suggested Honor Flight Syracuse as the beneficiary to honor the memory and service of her stepdad, Korean War veteran Richard Whitney. Richard passed away before he could make the Honor Flight himself, but the foundation that Natalie established in his name makes it possible for so many other veterans to make the memorable trip to Washington twice each year. We also want to express gratitude to her brother Brian Butler and EVERYONE who volunteered to support the Poker Run on a rainy July Saturday this year.
