The $595 million Member One Federal Credit Union is a lead sponsor of a run-walk event that will be an inaugural fundraiser for a new organization created to help wounded veterans in the Roanoke, Va., area.

The Blue Ridge Veterans Celebration is a Tunnel to Towers Foundation event set for Sunday, Sept. 9, at Wasena Park in Roanoke. Proceeds will be used to help build a home for triple amputee J.B. Kerns, a 22-year-old Marine wounded in Afghanistan, organizers said.
