Fundraising night on Saturday for Wounded Warriors Weekend
A Meadow Lake man is pitching in to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Rick Burnett is holding a fundraising for Wounded Warriors Weekend, a non-profit organization supporting veterans. Fundraiser proceeds go towards sending veterans to the yearly Wounded Warriors Weekend retreat in Nipawin in late August.
Burnett said he was talking to a fellow comrade about Wounded Warriors when the fundraising idea came to him.
