Two Donate to Support The Highground Veterans Memorial’s Vets and Guitars Program

Wednesday, November 5th, 2025 -- 8:01 AM

Larry Kizewski & Charlotte Hense are once again showing their steadfast support for The Highground's Vets & Guitars program.

On October 15, Larry and Charlotte arrived at the park to visit with Executive Director Chris Pettis and Vets & Guitars Coordinator Theresa Hebert. They presented Chris with a sizeable donation to help fund the program throughout 2026 along with a beautiful guitar to be given to one lucky veteran attending the current Fall Vets & Guitars course.

These special courses, part of The Highground’s Veterans Programs, are offered to military veterans free of charge due in large part to wonderful supporters like Larry and Charlotte who understand the benefits of such offerings.

Art and music have been found to help many veterans managing PTSD reduce anxiety and stress while providing a positive outlet to express their emotions. These classes offer a therapeutic space for veterans to develop creative skills and connect with peers who understand their journeys.

The Spring Vets & Guitars course dates for 2026 will be announced early next year.
