Joe Walsh has announced which organizations will be the beneficiaries of his VetsAid concert on September 20th at the Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia.
They are Operation Mend, Hire Heroes USA, Warrior Canine Connection, TAPS, Semper Fi Fund, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, Stop Soldier Suicide and Swords to Plowshares.
Walsh, whose military dad died while on active duty in Okinawa, Japan when he was 20 months old, says, “It’s the least I could do for those who have served and continue to serve our country. We’re all in this together as Americans and seems to me lately that people are forgetting that.”
Joining Walsh at VetsAid are The Zac Brown Band, Gary Clark Jr. and Keith Urban. He hopes to stage the concert as an annual event.
If you are an IRS-recognized non-profit that supports wounded, ill and injured veterans and families of the fallen and are interested in applying for a VetsAid grant, please go to VetsAid.org for information and to access the application form. Applications for this year’s concert must be received by September 10th.
