On Saturday, October 11th, 2008, a special
fundraising event was held to support the
efforts of SUPPORTING HEROES. Public safety
agencies from across Indiana and Kentucky
held “boot drives” (or “roadblocks”) and
other events to raise money to support the
families of fallen public safety heroes.
The goals of this event were:
-
Raise badly needed funds to support the
families of Indiana’s and Kentucky’s
fallen public safety heroes
-
Increase awareness of the service and
sacrifice of public safety personnel
-
Increase awareness of the importance of
supporting families of the fallen
|

Robinson Lodge once again participated in
the Supporting Heroes Boot Drive. The
location of our collection was at the
intersection of Taylorsville Road and
Hurstbourne Lane. All Lodges, wives and
family members of Masons, or anyone who is
at least 18 years of age were all encouraged
to participate in this most worthy cause. We
were once again blessed with wonderful
weather, and the event was a fantastic
success, and it was a true delight to have
taken part in such a wonderful program that
raised money to help the families of those
who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
