Local Lake Havasu City eateries are now promoting patriot packages. Red Robin owner, Dante Marinelli, is one of the organizers for Patriot Days in Lake Havasu City who is partnering with Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude is a nonprofit organization that sends care packages to soldiers for the holidays.
This year's Patriot Days will be a ten day celebration of patriotism in Lake Havasu City that is scheduled for September 15 through September 26. Organizers are expecting over 40,000 people to attend.
Local restaurants around Lake Havasu City have been challenged to raise enough money to send 20,000 boxes, which will total 60,000 packages in time for the winter holidays. Many restaurant owners are taking this challenge to heart and doing their part.
Participating in Lake Havasu City Patriot Days is a great way to show soldiers oversees that you are thinking of them while they defend our country. The average age of soldiers fighting in today's wars is 18 to 23 years old. It's an age group that still needs our support.
There are over ten local restaurants in Lake Havasu City that are asking for donations to ship the boxes. It costs $11 to ship just one box, so none of this money will go to any area restaurant or organizers.
In many cases, the $11 donation is more than the meal patrons are purchasing, but asking for this donation is a risk several restaurants are willing to make. It goes to show the level of all around commitment that Lake Havasu City has.
So, come out and celebrate during Patriot Days. It's one of the more exciting events to be a part of. The events will be more than fun.
