Holiday Axe Throwing with TMC Boston/Lowell

December 20, 2019

08:00 PM - 10:30 PM EST

Boston Platoon

Event overview

Come celebrate the holidays by chucking some sharpened steel with the leadership of The Mission Continues' Boston and Lowell service platoons! We have about 15 slots available, each of which will cover 2.5 hours of axe throwing. Staff (and a few amateur expert throwers) will be on hand to assist with mechanics and kick off some friendly competition. Though food and beverages - including alcohol - are available on-site, you will be responsible for your own purchases. It should be a lot of fun. Come join us! Venue is 21+ only Address: Urban Axes Boston 2 Union Square Somerville, MA 02143 From their website: Urban Axes is proud to bring urban axe throwing to the Greater Boston Area! The sport of axe throwing was invented about 5 minutes after the first axe was created, however it was traditionally undertaken in an outdoor environment, far away from urban environments. Our aim is to take axe throwing out of the woods and into the bright lights of the big city, by presenting you with... Urban Axe Throwing!

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
