Stand to Match Day to help benefit Armed Forces Community Foundation

Community members are encouraged to help support local veterans initiatives.

A donation tent will be setup outside City Hall from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Friday during the Veterans Day Parade and activities. Retired Lt. Colonel and Armed Forces Community Foundation of Kansas President Kevin West says the annual event is called Stand-to-Match Day, an annual fundraiser for the organization and its associated non-profits.

The Patterson Family Foundation will match all community donated funds up to $70,000 dollar for dollar.
