#FightandTakeFlight

Expanding our impact in year 3!

Courage Club Corner

The Charleston Riverdogs welcomed our Courage Club members and their families for a Friday night game at The Joe! We had 12 survivors, plus their families, in attendance which made for a fun family night out. The Riverdogs win and postgame fireworks were icing on the cake.

 Your generous donations allowed us to purchase meal vouchers for all of our Courage Club guests and their families so they could enjoy dinner at the game as well!

Upcoming Courage Club Events

July:  Dessert & Drinks! Survivors are invited to join us for a dessert & drinks gathering at Wiki Wiki Sandbar on Folly Beach Wednesday, July 24th at 7PM.
