ABOUT THE FOUNDERS:
Commander and Mrs. Thomas Czulewicz have been hosting Christmas Parties as fundraisers for various children’s organizations for over 30 years. In 2018 they decided to focus their efforts to Veterans. Commander Czulewicz served the Country in the United States Navy Submarine Service for 34 years. The gifts and donations are distributed to the Veterans Victory House in Walterboro, the recently opened Veterans Village in Florence and E.R Stone Pavilion in Columbia. The Veterans Village in Gaffney will be opening in January 2022 and two more Veterans Homes have been approved by the South Carolina Legislature. We will be providing for the Veterans in Florence this year. Checks should be made payable to Gift-A-Vet Foundation and mailed to: Gift-A-Vet Foundation, 153 Blue Stem Drive, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588.
