The Texas Insider’s Crystella McIvor Champions Military Charity Roll Call of North Texas: Exclusive Report! See how this small group is making a big difference for Veterans in North Texas.
Roll Call of North Texas was established in 2014 when Fort Worth native and businessman Kevin Boldt sought to honor World War II veterans by inviting them to lunch as a gesture of appreciation for their service. With a passion for military history and personal ties to the armed forces, as many of his family members had served, including himself, Kevin initially took a group of about fifteen WWII veterans out for lunch. The following month, attendance doubled to around thirty people. Since then, the monthly luncheons have experienced consistent growth.
Today, the luncheons attract an average of 450 to 500 attendees, the majority of whom are veterans, and the total membership has expanded to nearly 1,600 people.
In 2016, the monthly veterans luncheon evolved into a broader initiative focused on serving and honoring veterans within our community. This expansion included the launch of a Veteran Outreach and home visitation program, the development of service learning projects for high school and junior high students, and the initiation of other community outreach and educational efforts. This progression marked the formal establishment of Roll Call of North Texas.
