Axe throwing @ Kick Axe PhillyOn New Year's Eve 2021 VMFA held our inaugural event, axe throwing at Kick Axe Philly. The holidays can be hard for veterans without strong support networks and can lead to thoughts of depression. To avoid spending the night alone, we invited veterans to spend the night throwing axes and then ringing in the new year together at a bar.

Meet and Greet @ Buffalo BilliardsOn Feb. 19th we held our second event, a meet and greet at Buffalo Billiards. As our organization grows we want to ensure that all new and prospective members have a chance to have one-on-one time with our founders and officers. We spent the night shooting pool, talking about our mission and making new friends.

Beer and Yoga @ 1901B WashingtonOn March 19th we held a beer and yoga event to get veterans up and moving while also having some beverages to relax the atmosphere. This was our favorite event so far, so keep an eye on the calendar because we will definitely be making this a recurring event!

Dragon Boat racing w/ the Pennsylvania Dragon Boat ClubGoing into Memorial Day weekend we were given the opportunity to ride along with the Pennsylvania Dragon Boat Club (PDBC) on the Schuylkill River. We spent the morning paddling and getting the best back and shoulder workout we've had in years. We are so grateful to the PDBC for the invitation, and good luck on the race this week!
