Another fundraiser event is in the books for Georgia's next governor, Ken Yasger!
In October 2023 Ken completed the well-known David Goggins challenge at Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. He ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours, with the intent of donating half of his proceeds to It's a Military Life's Veteran Pen Pal Project.
Veteran Pen Pal Project is a program under the nonprofit It's a Military Life. Their mission is to improve mental health within the military community, a subject that Ken is also very passionate about. The Veteran Pen Pal Project connects members of the military community (spouses, veterans, and current service members) with civilians that have similar interests.
If you a member of the military community that is interested in joining the Veteran Pen Pal Project you can sign up using this form. Members of the civilian community can apply to be a pen pal through this form. There are no requirements for how often you have to write your pen pal, but the purpose of the program is develop long-lasting friendships.
Ken turned over a check worth $500 to a Veteran Pen Pal Project ambassador.
