From 3PM to 6PM on Saturday, May 18th, the Roy Williams Foundation in partnership with Split Happens is graciously hosting a fundraiser to support our Veterans and First Responders. The public is invited to attend and participate in a silent auction and discounted bowling. 3 free games will be provided to vets and first responder families. This late afternoon event will prove to offer 3 hours of fun for all who attend.
RWF Mission:
“The Roy Williams Foundation’s mission is to prevent or end suicides within the Veteran and First Responder communities by renewing life’s purpose, instilling hope and fostering a community where they have access to the camaraderie of service.”
RWF Vision:
“What we envision for the Roy Williams Foundation is an ever-growing network of dedicated donors and volunteers. Veterans and civilians working together to provide outreach and support to our veteran, Law Enforcement and First Responder Communities. We understand that different people have different personalities and that some people might not be able to relate to the invisible and lasting wounds that are inflicted on the people who experience combat and other violent acts. Therefore, we aspire to bring as many combat veterans, Law Enforcement Professionals and other first responders into our organization as possible with civilian support to help and encourage people with PTSD to believe in a better tomorrow. Through outdoor activities and companionship, our network strives to connect quietly suffering veterans with other veterans who have learned to manage their PTSD and are willing to help others.
All members are passionate about this outreach and are dedicated to educating themselves and others about crisis intervention methods to stem the tide of veteran suicide. If they find themselves unable to help an individual, they will endeavor to find someone else in the network who can better relate to the individual to offer support. We envision, working with and complementing other veteran outreach organizations to create as big of a network as possible. Our funding will go toward formal crisis intervention education for our members as well as expense reimbursement (gas, food, lodging), outreach efforts (i.e. publicity and advertising) and eventually things like hunting and fishing licenses. Our funding will also be used, in special cases, to pay for the best ongoing professional psychological counseling for the most troubled veterans, Law Enforcement and First Responder Professionals who need more help than the RWF can provide.“
