PRECorp walking taco booth to aid veteran support groups

PRECorp employee volunteers will once again be raising funds with a walking taco booth the corner of the Crook County Courthouse lawn, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally “Burnout Wednesday” at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, August 7.

The booth will feature the same menu of a bag of nacho chips, hot taco fixings and bottled water, affordably priced to encourage sales and support for the local charitable work of Veteran support groups.

Last year, PRECorp raised more than $2500 each for long-term and palliative care at Crook County Medical Services District, and Sundance Kid Prints daycare.

A similar goal is set for three new designated recipients for this year’s effort: Quilts of Valor, Hunting with Heroes Wyoming, and Devils Tower VFW Post 4311.

Quilts of Valor provides presentation quilts for veterans and service members who have been touched by war. Hunting With Heroes provides Wyoming big game hunting experiences for disabled Veterans. Post 4311 simply seeks out any opportunity to help local veterans.

“These three non-profit entities provide critical support to Veterans in the Sundance and Crook County area, and, with the community’s assistance, we are eager to help them out as much as possible,” said PRECorp spokesperson Stephanie Pribilske.

Adding to the volunteerism of Powder River Energy employees, the Powder River Energy Foundation has pledged to match funds raised, dollar-for-dollar – doubling the impact of the booth. Thank you to the community in advance for stopping by the booth on August 7 to enjoy a tasty lunch and support these three non-profit organizations. The hours are 11 a.m. until the food runs out.

Established in 2007, the Powder River Energy Foundation has driven more than $2.5 million back to the communities in Campbell, Crook, Johnson, Sheridan, and Weston counties.
