"I'm so proud of our sponsors and team that make this all possible. And with the support from local and national organizations, private businesses, individuals, ticket sales, concessions, and merchandise, we're able to continue to help our veterans in a big way," adds Clor.
A VA study on mental health concluded that, on average, 20 Veterans commit suicide a day and that the suicide rate is highest among veterans between 18 to 29. The American Warrior Festival and Strength In Numbers Entertainment mission is to help support organizations working toward veteran suicide prevention. Help us defeat these horrific statistics through donations, participation, and sharing with others. It's important to get our message out there, especially during these difficult times.
Partial proceeds from registration for each event go to veteran organizations such as The War Fighter Community Foundation, Mission 22, and Broken Warriors Angels.
