'Challenge coin' issued by SUNY Canton Veterans Association as fundraiser

Posted

CANTON -- The SUNY Canton Veterans Association has issued a challenge coin as a fundraiser for the student-run club.

“They use the proceeds for their charitable work here on campus and in the community,” said SUNY Canton Interim President Carli C. Schiffner.

Each challenge coin is molded and enameled with an image of the SUNY Canton seal on one side and the Kangaroo on the other.

Each coin costs $6 and the proceeds will be used to fund the Veterans Association’s various projects.

In the past academic year, the Veterans Association sponsored a hole at a charity golf tournament, donated more than 170 pounds of food to the Canton Church and Community Program, and assisted with the Wounded Warrior Project’s sled hockey games.

The SUNY Canton’s Veterans Association was formed to connect students and alumni who serve or have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their group association is open to veterans from all generations and branches of service.
