31Heroes presents Shooting for 31Heroes event at Freedom Shooting Center on November 6th in Virginia Beach.

This is the 10-year remembrance of the tragedy of August 6, 2011, and we are holding a silent auction during the event to help us raise even more funds for our veteran community. I’m not sure how familiar you are with us, so I’m including information below.

On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members and one U.S. military K-9– when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was downed in Afghanistan. In the wake of the unimaginable tragedy, a mission was born.

The mission of 31Heroes is to raise money and awareness through social and athletic events to support the families of Extortion 17 and honor their legacy by funding the treatment of traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. We are a nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization.

We will be hosting a shooting competition fundraiser on Saturday, November 6th at Freedom Shooting Center as we honor our veteran community and raise funds for 31Heroes. 

We will have an after party with food, adult beverages available for purchase (after people shoot), and a silent auction and raffle.
