CSM Promotes “Support the Heroes Campaign” at Leonardtown Veterans
Day Parade. 10 a.m., Nov. 11, Leonardtown Square, Leonardtown. The
College of Southern Maryland will join the Town of Leonardtown and the
Board of County Commissioners for St. Mary’s County for their annual
Veterans Day Parade held in cooperation with VFW Post 2632. The parade
will begin at St. Mary’s Ryken High School and will conclude with a
Veterans Memorial Ceremony in the town square with patriotic music and
laying of wreaths. CSM volunteers will be on-site collecting donations
for CSM’s “Support the Heroes Campaign,” which began in Sept. 11
and will conclude Nov. 11. The campaign benefits a scholarship fund
developed to support students studying to become first responders and
veterans whose benefits changed effective Aug. 1 as a part of the
Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon Campaign. CSM will also collect donations
online, uniting with hundreds of non-profits in a massive 24-hour
“Give to the MAX” online fundraising day, Nov. 9, in an effort to
generate millions of dollars. For information on the “Support the
Heroes Campaign” and the “Give to the MAX” day contact Martina
