Active Legacies: The Joy of the Journey

A New Era of Engagement: Gone are the days of our military legends simply waving from parades with lap blankets. Our legends are now active, engaged, and leading the way for the next generation through various community support initiatives. Professional Sports Recognition: We collaborate with Detroit’s professional sports teams—the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, and Detroit Pistons—to ensure our military legends are honored at significant military recognition events. The joy they experience from these occasions is immeasurable; just recently, the entire Red Wing stadium went wild for our Rosie the Riveters. Grand Events & VIP Treatment: Darlene Soave, Founder of the DG Group Foundation, played a crucial role in establishing One Stop Veterans alongside Herb Elfring to support and expand his mission. Darlene organizes yearlong grand events, including birthday parties for our Rosies and WWII veterans, as well as celebratory luncheons, where our legends enjoy the VIP treatment they have earned as part of thoughtful veteran engagement programs. The America 250 Dance Party: An epic celebration featuring our original Rosies, Tuskegee Airmen, and World War II veterans alongside legendary Detroit icon Fast Freddy of Detroit, who is an honorary Tuskegee Airman. Why? Why not! Beauty Night for the Women of WWII: Specialized events for camaraderie, fine hors d'oeuvres, and shared joy for our Rosies and women of the home front, which include pampering sessions for their hair and nails.
