Aurora Fundraiser to Help Bring Moving Vietnam Wall to Oswego

Looking to support the Vietnam Moving Wall coming to Oswego? A fundraiser is being held Nov. 11 in Aurora.

Veterans Nite Out will take place on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, from 6 p.m. to midnight at Ballydoyle Restaurant & Pub, located at 28 West New York Street in Aurora. The cost is a $20 donation at the door with all proceeds going to The Moving Wall – Oswego 2017.

Supporters will enjoy a fun-filled evening of music, finger food, libations and lots of camaraderie. A 50-inch TV (donated by Walmart Oswego) will be given away as a door prize. “The StingRays,” a 50s, 60s & 70s Rock & Roll band right out of Chicago, will play music from 8 p.m. to midnight.

The Vietnam Moving Wall is a replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC and will be coming to Prairie Point Park in Oswego June 29 through July 3 in 2017. Bringing this Memorial to Oswego shows respect and honor to the 58,313 men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam Conflict.

There is a cost to bring the Wall to Oswego, so the monies raised from the first major fundraiser will help with the cost of the Wall, landscaping, media, flags, supplies, etc.
