[Stewart_Reptiles]

Every now and then the Herp community has been known to come together for a good cause this time the focus is to help our veterans who have sacrificed so much for this country and our freedom.

On January 14th an auction benefiting our veterans will be held Raleigh NC after the Repticon Show, this auction will benefit K3M ( www.k3m.us ) a nonprofit organization ran by a Purple Heart recipient that used his VA settlement to buy a ranch for the sole purpose of helping homeless veterans and verterans with PTSD.

100% of the auction proceeds will be donated to K3M.

So come and join the herp community for a great evening of fun with Limey and help support a great cause.

Location: Ramada Inn 1520 Blue Ridge Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607

Time: 6pm to 2am

If you wish to make a donation (animal, art, goods etc) to be auctioned off for this great cause please contact Limey at https://www.facebook.com/K3m-Veteran...1835111845298/

There is no plan for an online auction component, however for anyone that cannot attend the auction in NC but still want to make a difference they can do so by donating directly to https://www.facebook.com/K3Minc/?fref=ts or http://www.k3m.us/
