ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks and Rooms To Go worked with Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO) to provide an unforgettable experience for local military veteran Chennel Goston and her son Kai. Last week, the family was joined by Hawks star John Collins, who accompanied the family for a day-long shopping trip where the family picked out furniture for their new home.
During the Hawks game on Thursday evening, the family was recognized during the first quarter with a video that celebrated her accomplishments and recapped the shopping experience at Rooms To Go. In addition, Collins today announced that he will provide an additional $10,000 gift to support VEO efforts and assist with other veteran families.
