Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
On Wednesday, Maple Leaf Farms, McHatton-Sadler Funeral Chapel and Reinholt’s Town Square Furniture were recognized for over 20 years of support to the Kosciusko County Shrine Club’s Annual Turkey Shoot.
The annual shoot, of more than 25 years, supports the club’s and Mizpah Shrine Temple’s philanthropic mission to benefit the Shrine Children’s Hospitals. Locally, over $200,000 has been raised by the participation of local sportsmen, businesses and contributors, according to a provided news release. As always, as the donors and participants realize, “No one stands so tall as when they stoop to help a child.”
Shriners Hospitals for Children is a system of 22 hospitals in North America dedicated to treating children with orthopedic problems and burn injuries. There are 18 orthopedic hospitals, three burn hospitals and one hospital that provides orthopedic, burn care and spinal cord injury care. The mission is carried out without regard to race, color, creed, sex, or sect, disability, national origin, or ability of a patient or family to pay. Since the founding of Shriners Hospitals for Children in 1922, about $12 billion has been spent to provide quality and compassionate medical care to nearly a million children with orthopedic problems, severe burn injuries or spinal cord injuries, the release states.
The annual shoot is scheduled for Sept. 13 and 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to be held at Beeson’s Gun Club, 8994 W. CR 25S, Etna Green. The public is encouraged to attend. For more information, call 574-551-3770 or 574-265-5748.
