Local Live Art Fundraiser to Support Our Troops

Local charity Heroes 4 Heroes is putting on a really cool event this weekend that I want to encourage all of you to get out and attend. It should be a lot of fun and supports one of the best causes Americans can be a part of today, supporting our Service Men and Women who are putting their lives at risk every day.
Chris McCroskey, the charity’s founder sent out this email about the event:
Dear family and friends,
Most of you know that I started a charity almost three years ago called Heroes4Heroes. We work directly with the military to send out care packages consisting of portable media like comics books, DVD’s, video games, magazines and books. This year we were able to send out over 3,000 care packages, 40,000 comics, 800 DVD’s and 600 books. We are holding our Live Art Fundraiser this weekend on Nov. 8th at the Sheraton Arlington. I am writing this email to encourage you all to come to the event and to ask you for your help. Last year our event venue was free and this year it will cost us about $5,000. Anything you could give will go a long way to helping us achieve our goal of sending out 10,000 care packets in 2009. H4H is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and ALL, 100% of our fundraising goes directly to the cause. All our staff are volunteers and we pay no saleries of any kind. Please consider donating either on our website www.heroes4heroes.org/donate/ or send us a check directly made out the
