Guests also enjoyed lunch and giveaways on behalf of CrossCountry Mortgage.
“The sacrifices made by the brave individuals in our Military go beyond the front lines,” said Laura Soave, Chief Brand Officer, CCM. “Those sacrifices extend to the children and families bravely supporting their loved ones back home. We’re honored to host NEOPAT to recognize our youngest Military heroes.”

The organization provides emergency assistance, mental wellness programs, educational scholarships and other resources to support local Military Members and families, including support for Military children.
