Celebrate Veterans Day 2011 and Support Care for Disabled Veterans!

November 10, 2011 - In honor of Veterans Day 2011 Care for Disabled Veterans is hosting 2 special events to directly honor our veterans and support our organization's efforts to support our veterans!

The first of 2 Veterans Day events kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday, November 11 with a dinner honoring veterans in the South Florida area. The dinner will be held at the historic Dania Jai-Alai facility in Dania Beach, FL and is open to the first 1,000 veterans who register.

Registration must be done by noon Friday to reserve a seat for yourself and up to 2 guests. Send an email to dinner@careforvets.org with the following details:

 

• name;
• mailing address;
• contact phone number;
• the branch of military you served in; and
• number of guests (please indicate if any are 13 years or younger, limit 2 guests per veteran).

 

As long as your registration is in by noon on Friday, you'll receive a confirmation email with the number of seats. You will need a photo ID to be admitted to the dinner.

Even after Veterans Day in Ft. Lauderdale is over, Care for Disabled Veterans will be continuing the fun! At 6 p.m. Saturday, November 12, we'll kick off an evening of poker games, contests, and prizes! The main event will be a charity Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament with a first prize of $10,000 (with a minimum 200 players). There will be unlimited rebuys for the first 6 levels of play and bounty spiffs with 32 giveaways.



To participate in the poker tournament you must register either online or at the door. You have until 11:59 p.m. on Friday to take advantage of the online registration discounted rate of $100.

If you miss the Friday deadline, don't worry! You can still register at the door for $125 between 4 and 5 p.m. the day of the tournament!

There's plenty going on Saturday night for Veterans Day in South Florida besides poker! During the tournament, there will also be a silent auction featuring items from our generous sponsors and donors. Try your luck at the Spin-A-Wheel prize giveaway, or maybe you'll be the winner of one of the many raffles held that night!

The proceeds from this Veterans Day event will go to support Care for Disabled Veterans in their ongoing efforts to provide resources to our veterans. Donations are used to fund access to IMEs as well as developing veterans advocacy efforts and family caregiver support resources.

Our veterans deserve the utmost care and respect in exchange for their sacrifice and service to our country, yet many suffer with disabling medical conditions and illness and struggle to make ends meet after life in the service. At Care for Disabled Veterans our goal is to assist qualified veterans in obtaining the medical evidence they need to seek their rightful benefits for combat-related disabilities.
