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

I have attached a brochure where you can read all about our organization and even read the letter we got from Gen. Petraeus and a letter from a soldier who recieved one of our packets.  Please forward this on to all your friends who have a heart for the young men and women serving in harms way to protect our freedoms and give freedom to people who have never had it.

Details from the H4H Website:

This weekend we will be having our third Live Art Fundraiser!  Nov. 8th, 7:00pm at the Sheraton Arlington, Arlington TX (map) right next door to the Wizard World Texas Comic Convention.  If you have ever been to one of our previous Live Art shows you know how much fun they are and if you haven’t you should come and check it out.  Admission is free and you can bid on any piece of artwork that is produced along with other donations to H4H.  After the convention ends head on over to the Sheraton grab a drink at one of our two bars and get ready for some of the best artists in the business to wow you.  Be on the lookout for Mitch Breitweiser, Phil Hester, James O’Barr, Bill Tucci, Brian Denham, Eric “EBAS” Basuldua, Art Love Magic and many more great artists.  Check out this video from last year and don’t miss your chance to be a part of a great cause and support our troops!  Here are some pics from last years event.
