Earlier this year, Fayette County’s Whitetails Unlimited awarded a grant totaling $10,000 to Operation Cherrybend. The mission of Operation Cherrybend is to lift up veterans for their courage, selflessness, and sacrifice to our country. They do this by creating a strong network with events, adventures, and music.

The annual Operation Cherrybend event is held at Cherrybend Pheasant Farm in Wilmington, Ohio. This historic hunting preserve has served as the perfect location for bringing together veterans and civilians to form a network of like-minded people that honor those wounded and fallen. Whitetails Unlimited partners with Operation Cherrybend to help disabled veterans get back in the hunt as a part of our Preserving the Hunting Tradition program. This program focuses on increasing hunting opportunities and providing outdoor experiences for youth, women, veterans, and those with a disability.
