Heidrea for Heroes Announces Skydive Challenge Fundraiser to support mission of helping Veterans
 
PLYMOUTH, BELLINGHAM, HOPEDALE & WHITMAN, MA, ISSUED AUGUST 29, 2016... Heidrea for Heroes (www.heidrea4heroes.org), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources and support to military veterans facing challenges and hurdles after transitioning back to civilian life, announced its first-ever Skydive Challenge Fundraiser. Proceeds from the event will support their work in providing assistance to veterans in need. Donations are being collected in advance and on the day of the event, September 18th.
 
Five supporters of Heidrea for Heroes will be tandem skydiving with Sky Dive South Boston at Cranland Airport in Hanson on September 18, and they are competing against each other to raise the most money before they jump. Eager to assist the cause, the skydivers are: Jesse Brown, a Marine Corps veteran from Plymouth, co-founder of Heidrea for Heroes, and Director of Operations at Heidrea Communications in Bellingham; Lisa Sivieri from Plymouth and Manager of LiveLifeBelieve Fitness; Krista Landry from Hopedale and Associate Director of Outreach for Heidrea for Heroes; Ethan Dunbar, a Marine Corps veteran from Bellingham and a current Section Sergeant in the MA Army National Guard; and Jeff Henley, a Marine Corps veteran from Whitman and owner of Henley Electric.
 
The skydivers have been fundraising from friends, family, and co-workers, but all of them welcome donations from the public. To learn more about each one including their motivation to participate, and to donate to the skydiver of your choice, visit www.heidrea4heroes.org/events .  With the exception of Ethan Dunbar, this will be the first time skydiving for the rest of the group.
 
LiveLifeBelieve Fitness is also hosting a DJ Cycle Class open to the general public and complete with DJ tunes on Labor Day, September 5th at 8:30 AM at their Cordage Park facility. All proceeds from this $10 per person class will benefit Lisa's effort to become the top fundraiser. Space is limited and advance reservations are recommended by calling 508-746-1000.
 
On the morning of September 18th, Heidrea for Heroes will be on-site at Cranland Airport's Fly-In Breakfast. Visitors of this monthly event can stop by at their table to learn more about the organization.
 
Heidrea for Heroes provides adaptive home and vehicle modifications, wheelchair ramps, qualified home repairs, mobility equipment, and individualized veteran/family support to assist with hardships. The organization also offers college scholarships for veteran children, and a Success Readiness Series of seminars and webinars, consisting of workforce readiness, financial literacy, and personal success topics for veterans and military spouses.
 
About Heidrea for Heroes, Inc.
Heidrea for Heroes was founded by Marine Corps veterans and small business owners/partners Jesse Brown and Mathew Mastroianni, who are also partners in a telecommunications firm. Both, as veterans, understand the issues of transition from military to civilian life - and they have formed this non-profit organization to provide vital support services to veterans. With offices in Plymouth's Cordage Park, they seek volunteers and investors to help them realize their dream; they recently received a $40,000 donation from the New England Wireless Association. Heidrea for Heroes has an application process for veterans in need of assistance and welcomes southeastern Massachusetts veterans of any age to submit. Applications and more information about the organization can be found online at www.heidrea4heroes.org , or you can call 774-773-3951. Family/friends of veterans can also inquire or apply on their behalf. Heidrea for Heroes maintains offices at 10 Cordage Park Circle, Suite 224, Plymouth, MA 02360. They also have a Facebook page.
