HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Vieyra Honors Foundation was set up to provide banners honoring veterans from Reno County in downtown Hutchinson.
"We're partnering with Downtown Hutchinson, the United Way and the city," said Marla Booher with the foundation. "Our goal is to sell the max banners that we can, which is 112, to honor our veterans in Reno County. Our proceeds are 100% staying in Reno County, geared toward veterans programs and veterans education and awareness within our community."
Each banner is $200. They just need some basic information on your veteran and a photo.
"You can go to our website, vieyrahonorsfoundation.org and you can sign up there," Booher said. "Not everybody is excited about the online version. We do offer assistance with that. There are contact information options on there, whether you would like to email us or call. The phone number on there is my personal number."
Call Booher at (620) 960-8215 for more information. The deadline to buy a banner is March 11. The banners will be hung between Memorial Day and the 4th of July this year.
