Two recipients of this award for 2024 will be the Kansas and Missouri Children of the American Revolution Presidents.
Missouri CAR President: Katie Schaer
Kansas CAR President: Eliza Tindell.
Eliza Tindell, Kansas State CAR President, is supporting Patriots of Praise. This is a 501c3 run by a veteran named Scott. He takes active duty military members, veterans, and gold star families on hunting and fishing trips. He has a hunting lodge in Wakeeney, Kansas, and a fishing one in Arkansas. The participants have no expenses once they get to the lodge. In some cases, he also provides gas cards so that people can afford to get there. She is raising funds to pay for food, lodging, pheasants, and other expenses. She also plans to visit the lodge in Wakeeney and help with cleaning and maintenance. Her goal for the project is $3,000. She has not achieved that goal yet but is still working hard to get there before her term ends.
