CARTHAGE, N.Y. (WWNY) - April is Month of the Military Child, a time dedicated to the sacrifices made by military children.
To recognize the occasion, which is symbolized by the color purple, the Carthage Area Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with Augustinian Academy and IMEC to host an event later this month.
Through the month of April, active duty and retired military kids can stop at IMEC on Riverside Drive to pick up a goody bag, certificate of appreciation, and a purple luminary bag that parents can write on. Those luminary bags will be lit up in their children’s honor.
