Zimmer Marketing is excited to announce two impactful events this week in support of Honor Flight of the Ozarks, honoring our local veterans and helping fund their memorable trips to Washington, D.C.
Radiothon: Thursday, June 26, 6 AM – 6 PM
Starting Thursday, June 26, Zimmer Marketing will host a full-day Radiothon broadcast across all six local radio stations. From 6 in the morning until 6 in the evening, listeners can tune in to hear inspiring stories from veterans, learn more about Honor Flight’s mission, and find out how to donate. This 12-hour Radiothon aims to raise critical funds to send more veterans on their well-deserved Honor Flight journeys.
New This Year: Red, White, Sip & Shop – Saturday, June 28, 10 AM – 2 PM
Building on the success of previous years, Zimmer Marketing is thrilled to add a brand-new event to the calendar: Red, White, Sip & Shop. Taking place Saturday, June 28, from 10 AM to 2 PM in the Joplin Greenhouse parking lot, this event offers a festive atmosphere with over 75 local vendors, delicious food trucks, bounce houses for kids, and plenty of opportunities to shop local while supporting veterans.
Why These Events Matter
Honor Flight of the Ozarks provides free trips to Washington, D.C. for veterans to visit memorials dedicated to their service. Each flight costs approximately $170,000 and supports around 80 veterans, plus guardians and staff. The funds raised through the Radiothon and Red, White, Sip & Shop will help send even more veterans on these unforgettable journeys.
