Banquet to support Veteran Wellness.
https://www.givingmac.org/event
This a community-driven fundraising event supporting the Marilyn Thoms Memorial Fund for Veteran Wellness, hosted by Giving Mac. This event raises funds to install immersive wellness systems—featuring stunning nature films—primarily in veterans’ facilities, creating calming and restorative environments that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional well-being. By fostering peace and supporting mental health awareness, we aim to honor and uplift those who have bravely served our country. When funding allows, additional systems may also be donated to fire stations, police departments and possibly libraries—extending the impact to other vital community spaces.
