WHITE MOUNTAIN VETERANS TRIBUTE
Walking Down Ranch Mission: Assist veterans in every aspect of their transition from military service to civilian life.
After working with many veterans in other organizations, three citizens saw the need for additional assistance for veterans in the White Mountain region. These individuals began to fundraise, develop, and acquire a 501(C)(3) designation from the state of Arizona, which was awarded in May 2014. Since that date, we have assisted more than 1,000 veterans on Arizona’s White Mountain. We are very proud of this achievement.
The White Mountain Veteran Tribute event is one way you can help us help them. No tickets needed for this spectacular one-day event. Held Labor Day Weekend at Show Low Airport, there is something for everyone. We will have antique plane fly-ins, drone demonstrations, kids’ crafts, live music, vendors, and so much more.
