February 14th is one of my favorite days of the year… Valentine’s Day! Since 2017, I have hosted Valentines for Veterans to show love and appreciation for those who have been so selfless for us and our country. This year, I partnered with the Veterans Yoga Project of the American Legion Gold Star Post here in Staten Island to show our love.
Thank you to the following organizations for making this day so special:
Mrs. Rosemary’s Dance School
St. Ann’s School
Wagner Service to Society Club
New Dorp HS
Hofstra University Dance Team
South Shore Food Pantry
Girl Scout Troop 05035
And all other individuals who donated!
A BIG thank you to Crumbl Cookies of South Shore Commons for donating cookies to our veterans!! This made today EXTRA special! I appreciate your sponsorship for this event and so do the vets!
Another big thank you to the yoga teacher, Clarissa, for connecting me to the class! Also huge thanks to my rising star, Sofia, for doing so much and getting all of her friends involved to make this event so special! And to my aunt who became my personal photographer and videographer today
I am so grateful to have become a part of the Veterans Task Force and continue to find ways to give back to our veterans.
