Get to know Save-A-Joe

What is a Joe? A “Joe” is a term used by military leaders when referring to their soldiers.

In 2013 Katherine Banik and Paul Schifferer wanted to do something to help Veterans in their local communities. Paul served in the Army National Guard and retired as a Master Sergeant after 21 years, and Katherine’s Grandfather and brother are also Army Veterans. We organized a charity fundraiser called ‘Bowling for Veterans’, which we ran for 5 years and, with the help of many wonderful volunteers and committee members, were able to donate over $30,000 to Veteran causes. We had so much fun doing that we decided to incorporate. Now we are growing, will be adding more committees and events, and intend to help even more Veterans and Veteran Service Organizations. With your support - We got this! Please help us spread the word, raise funds and help Soldiers.
- Thank you!
Paul, Katherine and all of our Volunteers
