TYSONS, Va.— The PenFed Foundation has announced a grant to support Fort Bragg family members impacted by recent rapid deployments to Europe due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The grant will fund the Feb. 26 Meet Us at the Park event at Rick’s Place that will provide 450 military family members with an afternoon filled with free fun activities, music and food, PenFed said.
“The PenFed Foundation is proud to support our military heroes and their families,” said PenFed Credit Union CEO/President and CEO of PenFed Foundation James Schenck. “Whenever our brave men and women in uniform deploy, their loved ones back home are required to make great sacrifices. We stand by these family members and hope the Rick’s Place event will provide support, comfort and an opportunity to build meaningful connections and relieve stress.”
The private Meet Us at the Park event took place at Rick’s Place, a 50-acre interactive greenspace 5.5 miles from Fort Bragg operated by The Rick Herrema Foundation.
