Patriot Boating Days and Folds Of Honor
Live music, great food and an even better cause.
Phillips Energy is pleased to invite all of our friends to Patriot Boating Days on Sat., July 18, an event hosted by York River Yacht Haven, a SunTex Marina location.
From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., move to the beat of jazz, fifties and blue grass music, enjoy delicious eats from your favorite local restaurants and grab your friends and family for military boat rides, a bounce house and more.
Proceeds from food and beverage sales (Budweiser beer truck, Chick-Fil-A, Subway, York River Oyster Company, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Scoot’s BBQ and Pelican SnoBalls of Gloucester) will support Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization that provides scholarship assistance to the children of military service members killed or disabled while on active duty.
Of the million-plus dependents adversely affected by deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly nine out of 10 do not qualify for federal scholarship assistance. Folds of Honor seeks to meet this need by helping support private education tuition, tutoring and educational summer camps, as well as higher education tuition assistance for spouses and children.
Since its founding in 2007, the organization is proud to have awarded more than 7,500 scholarships, including more than 2,000 in 2014 alone.
The fundraiser will be held at York River Yacht Haven, located at 8109 Yacht Haven Road, Gloucester Point, Va.
