National Day of Service - Softball Field Transformation

September 16, 2017

11:00 AM - 03:00 PM EDT

Philadelphia Platoon

Event overview

What better way to honor those who have fallen then to focus on those who are currently rising. In honor of September 11, we will be ascending upon Thomas Alva Edison High School once again. This time we are going to accomplish the near impossible; we will be revamping the women's softball field. The softball field consists of a fully grassed field with no dirt on the infield. We will be creating a new field for the women's softball team, along with installing previously built benches, building and installing dugouts for the women, and installing a home-run fence so the school will be able to host playoff games now. This is going to be an amazing opportunity for us to take a moment out of our busy lives and come together in solidarity on this occasion. In appreciation of the currently scheduled events happening in the great city of Philadelphia by our fellow VSO's here, we are going to schedule this event for the weekend after September 11th. Let's do this! #charliemike

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
