Amy sent a tweet about this last night but I wanted to make the offer available to those of you who use the website and who don't "tweet." (I still can't believe we are forced to talk like this!)
Many people have asked how they can support the Challenge America cause without being able to actually attend the event (based on distance, conflicts, etc.). Well, the Challenge America team has been working with their donor base on an offer to sponsor veterans to go to the concert in their place. The way it works is this — a donor makes a $500 tax deductible donation to Challenge America and for that donation, the Challenge America team will work directly with Walter Reed and other military organizations to bring a seat a veteran at the concert in the patron seats (first few rows of the orchestra). It's a win-win for everyone. The donor gets to contribute to the cause and gets a tax deduction and the veteran gets to go to an event they normally couldn't afford and be honored by Amy, Vince and their musical friends.
If interested in making a donation, please contact management@amygrant.com.
I know it is a lot to ask of you. $500 dollars is a lot of money for anyone these days. But maybe a few of you are in the position of being able to help. We never know unless we ask…
Thanks for even considering…
