“Every step you takes helps a Veteran experiencing homelessness, and there are 40,000 right now on any given night in America. By joining our signature fundraiser, whether on your own or as a team, every dollar raised helps them return to meaningful and productive lives,” said Vince Santilli, CEO/Executive Director of Homes for the Brave.
A celebratory kickoff for the event will take place on August 6 at the University of Bridgeport Pedestrian Mall with live entertainment and refreshments. Alyssa Rae Taglia of News Channel 8 will emcee the event, and all participants are welcome.
Since 2002, Homes for the Brave has helped almost 1,500 individuals experiencing homelessness, mostly Veterans, to secure income, find safe and affordable housing, and make meaningful contributions to our community.
