A fundraiser being held tomorrow will benefit a Washington County non-profit that helps veterans from across the country.The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association’s Patriot’s Run begins at 9 a.m. at McGrath Harley Davidson in Coralville. The association has raised money for the VA Hospital, VFW and American Legion in the past. This year, proceeds from registration, the raffle and auctions will go to English River Outfitters, which offers a variety of programs to veterans and their families on acreage southeast of Sockum Ridge Park.
Founder and president of the non-profit, Chuck Geertz, says fundraisers and donations allow them to help veterans who are dealing with mental or physical injuries following their service while keeping the cost as low as possible.
