Swim With A Mission, Celebration of Heroes

People paid tribute to service members and veterans at “Celebration of Heroes” Saturday night at Delta Dental Stadium.

Swim With A Mission, a nonprofit supporting veterans, hosted the event.

The celebration featured live music, vendors and K-9 demonstrations. WMUR’s Jennifer Vaughn was the emcee.

Organizers said the goal is to raise awareness of veteran assistance organizations.

“I think we’re at about $1.5 million in those three days now and we’re hoping to get to $2 million, and hopefully that’s going to happen with all of the work we’re doing here tonight,” Jeff Hiatt said.

Swim With A Mission held its sixth annual swim race Saturday morning at Newfound Lake.
