About Project Gallantly Forward: Project Gallantly Forward has a non-traditional approach to provide healing for the visible and invisible wounds of war by offering a peaceful, safe veteran retreat in rural Tennessee. Participation in the program will be free of charge to Veterans with their loved ones. Veterans will have access to a private working farm where they can have the time and space to begin healing while in the company of other veterans who are on the same path. Our goal is for the retreat to have six fully furnished cabins, available for five-day stays for veterans and their families. This model has the capability to reach over 300 veteran families each year. Additionally, there will be staff cabins available for use for volunteer disabled veteran staff to stay while working at the retreat. Learn more about our mission at www.projectgallantyforward.org
Current (and Growing!) List of Auction and Raffle Items: TBD
Recommended age is 16+. Minors must be in attendance with parent or guardian. After private party ends at 9p, must be 21+ to remain at Mint.
