Fallen Heroes Benefit Program and Upstate Warrior Solution to Receive Funds.

Laurens, SC – U.S. Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-District 3) announced the names of the two charities that will benefit from the charity auction held at his 8th Annual Faith & Freedom BBQ at 6pm on Monday, August 27th at the Anderson Sports and Entertainment Center in Anderson, SC.  All funds raised during the auction portion of the program will be donated to the South Carolina Sheriffs Association Fallen Heroes Death Benefit Program and Upstate Warrior Solution. The auction will be conducted personally by Congressman Duncan, who owned and operated a real estate and auction company prior to being elected to Congress. The South Carolina Sheriffs Association Fallen Heroes Death Benefit Program provides $10,000 to the spouse or parent of an officer killed in the line of duty. While the program cannot ease the pain of the loss of a loved one, the Benefit Program does assist with the unforeseen financial needs of the family.

Upstate Warrior Solution is a Greenville, SC based charity that assists veterans with educational and career guidance, financial planning, emotional and social assistance for families, and assisting veterans with Veterans Affairs.

“I’m looking forward to putting my auctioneering skills to work to raise funds for our veterans and our law enforcement community,” said Duncan. “Considering all the sacrifices made by our veterans and law enforcement community, this charity auction is just a small way in which we can show our gratitude and commitment to veterans and first responders.”

Tickets for the BBQ are $35 per person or $60 per couple. In appreciation for their service, all veterans, guardsmen, first responders, and their families may claim free tickets for the event. Tickets may be purchased or claimed online at JeffDuncan.com.

Congressman Duncan’s Faith & Freedom BBQ is the largest annual Republican event in the state of South Carolina.
