Photo Flash: Westchester Broadway Theatre Honors Veterans' Assistance Organizations
By: Kelsey Denette Dec. 02, 2011
A very special afternoon was had by all at the Wednesday, November 30th Matinee of Home For The Holidays at the Westchester Broadway Theatre. Representatives from several Veterans' assistance organizations including, Hope For Warriors, East Coast Assistance Dogs, New York State Veterans Home and Montrose VA Hospital, were in attendance. The occasion was the presentation by owners, Bob Funking and Bill Stutler, of checks to these deserving organizations totaling over $11,000. The funds were raised in a fundraiser event with the help of patrons of the theatre and members of Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion Posts who attended shows at WBT this Fall.
WBT is preparing for the Holidays! In continued efforts to give back to these sacrificing individuals, we'd like to honor our Nations' returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. For each performance of our Holiday Show, Home For The Holidays, now through December 23rd, we will arrange to gift four tickets to dinner and show to a returning Vet and his/her family. During the Holidays, When we're counting our blessings, we'd like to put these courageous young soldiers at the top of the list. Please call Pia Haas at WBT to arrange for tickets.Photo Credit: Pia Haas
