Veteran's Passport to Hope - October 4, 2012

October 2012
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Passport to Hope at Wings Over the Rockies!
Dear Friends,

COUNTRY, BLUES AND ROCK ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCED

FOR "VETERAN'S PASSPORT TO HOPE" EVENT

Proceeds to Benefit the Wounded Warrior Project

DENVER, Aug. 29, 2012 - If you are a fan of locally grown country, blues and rock
music, you won't want to miss the Veteran's Passport to Hope event on Thursday,
October 4 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Wings over the Rockies Air and Space
Museum. The evening lineup will include performances by Colorado musicians Katey
Laurel, The Last Flight Out and Buckstein.

Known for her folk-pop tunes and lush, cinematic songs, Denver-based Katey Laurel
is a local radio favorite. A talented musician, Laurel was nominated by Denver Westword
as "Singer/Songwriter 2011". Laurel's' music also has been included in the Microsoft
Windows 7 "Playlist 7" and Heineken's "Ultimate Playlist", programs that have featured
free music downloads from emerging artists.

Attendees also will enjoy the unique blend of blues, country, rock and funk from
The Last Flight Out.

The group distinguishes themselves from the pack by creating a crossover mix that
spans the acoustic intimacy of Sarah McLachlan, the blues sassiness of Bonnie Raitt,
and the rock explosiveness of Bob Seger.

Buckstein, a band started by two-time American Idol contestant Matt Buckstein, will
tackle everything from country and rock to R&B. With his traditional cowboy garb
and bass baritone voice, Buckstein brings a heartfelt quality to every song.

Veteran's Passport to Hope is a charity event founded to raise awareness of the
challenges today's veterans face, as well as funds to support veterans. The event
will celebrate the contributions of service men and women from every branch of the
armed services. In addition to entertainment, the evening will include great food,
live and silent auctions, awards and a keynote presentation by Army Sgt. Neil Duncan,
a veteran wounded while stationed in Afghanistan.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit
organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. The Wounded
Warrior Project offers a wide range of programs and events in the Colorado region
designed to meet the ongoing needs of injured service members.

Veteran's Passport to Hope at Wings Over the Rockies

Will you help me and a friend support our Veterans?

Shane Schmutz, is organizing an event to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project.

Shane served in the U.S. Army for 11.5 years, seven and a half years as a Blackhawk
Helicopter Pilot on Active Duty. He spent three tours in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom.

As his way of giving back, showing support, and appreciating all those that have
sacrificed so we can all enjoy our freedoms, Shane organized "Veteran's Passport
to Hope" (VP2H).

Veteran's Passport to Hope is a Local Colorado Charity Organization. VP2H's mission
consists of three main focus areas: Awareness, Fund-Raising, and Cooperation.

Today, our veterans and young men and women in uniform are experiencing unprecedented
challenges...multiple tours in combat zones, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), high unemployment rate, high homelessness rate, high
divorce rate, and a record high suicide rate.

To raise money for Veteran's this year, Veteran's Passport to Hope is putting on
a spectacular event at Wings Over the Rockies on October 4th. There will be fine
food, adult beverages, awards, great speakers, a silent auction, and three different
bands performing. All net proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Will you help me to support our Veteran's by purchasing a ticket to the event on
October 4th? You can get your tickets at http://www.veteranspassport2hope.org/ticketing

Reserved tables are also available. A reserved table includes recognition in the
event program, premium table location, VIP service, and 10 tickets.

Feel free to explore the site to learn more about what VP2H is all about.

Again, all net proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Thanks!
