Wayne Del Mitchel, the Golden Corral Boise Chairman for 2023, was also in attendance, playing a pivotal role in the afternoons success.

The event not only highlighted the collaborative spirit between Golden Corral and the DAV Idaho but also underscored the generosity of the citizens of Ada County. Through the dedicated efforts of all involved, a remarkable $7,600 was raised for the Military Appreciation Funds, a testament to the community’s unwavering support for our veterans.

As the afternoon unfolded, stories of courage, sacrifice, and resilience were shared, reminding everyone of the invaluable contributions our servicemen and women make to our nation. The funds raised will go a long way in supporting various initiatives aimed at helping veterans and their families.

A special moment captured in a photo from the event shows the key figures standing in solidarity and pride.
