Live Nation will be promoting MWSF’s “Homes4WoundedHeroes” from April 29 to June 2, 2013, through a contribution campaign on www.Ticketmaster.com. During this time period, fans can select to support our veterans through MWSF by adding a $5.00 contribution to their ticket purchase or making a donation for their desired amount.
“With support from partners, like Live Nation, MWSF can help America’s heroes and their families make a fresh start in homes of their own,” said Lt. Gen. Leroy Sisco USA (Ret.), MWSF chief executive officer. “MWSF provides homes and a comprehensive homeowner education and mentoring program to help the transition to civilian life. We’re proud to partner with Live Nation to raise funds to directly support this program.”
“Veterans who have sustained severe injuries while serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan deserve more than just our thanks, which is why we are so honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with MWSF,” said Scott Powell, executive vice president of Live Nation Entertainment.
To help raise awareness for the Home4WoundedHeroes campaign, MWSF hosted a kick-off event in conjunction with one of their long time partners, Chase Bank, to honor a highly decorated, combat wounded veteran from West Virginia.
