Operation Honor plans 5K on Nov. 9, Wreaths Across America at Mount Albion on Dec. 14
MEDINA/ALBION – Operation Honor, a group that raises funds to assist local veterans, is planning a 5K in Medina on Nov. 9 and the group for the first time will lead Wreaths Across America at Mount Albion on Dec. 14.
The annual 5K starts and ends at the Junior Wilson Sportsman Club on Bates Road. Oct. 11 is the deadline to sign up and receive a free shirt. Participants can sign up after that but won’t be guaranteed a shirt. Click here to sign up.
Operation Honor is a 501(c)3 non-profit that supports veterans in Orleans County, helping to cover utility bills, car payments, or purchasing heating pellets for veterans in need. Operation Honor assisted one veteran with the cost of registering a wheelchair-adapted van.
The organization this year joined in Wreaths Across America, where remembrance wreaths will be placed at the newer veterans’ section. The wreaths are $17 each and can be purchased online (click here).
There will be a ceremony at noon on Dec. 14 at the cemetery.
