Editor’s Note: The following information was provided by Miss Whitewater Pageant.

We are celebrating “10 Years of Giving.” Over the past 10 years we have made donations totaling over $38000 to some great veteran causes, such as: USO, Honor Flight Network, Pets for Vets, Vets Roll, Disabled American Vets, and Fischer House. Join us this year as we raise money to support The Highground Camp Victory:
The goal of Camp Victory is clear: To provide a safe environment for Veterans with PTSD and their families to connect, discuss their experiences, and continue to heal from the effects of serving our country. On average, every 22 seconds a veteran of the United States military dies by suicide as a result of undiagnosed and untreated mental health issues. These men and women sacrificed so much for our freedoms, and many are tormented by experiences of war and the challenges of returning home to their families and friends. Our goal is to do everything we can to help those that continue to suffer and end this cycle of veteran suicide. Camp Victory offers outdoor activities, retreats, and relaxation for Veterans with PTSD. Located on 295 acres of diverse woodlands and fields in west-central Wisconsin, are four miles of wheelchair-accessible and walker-friendly graveled woodland trails. Guests can catch and release bluegill from our one-acre pond with a wheelchair dock, make use of our wheelchair-accessible hunting shacks and experience guided archery deer, turkey, and bear hunts.
