ANNAPOLIS, MD – On Friday, November 5th and Saturday, November 6th, the Proffitt Brothers Foundation®, which is a veteran-operated nonprofit, is hosting the American Heroes Benefit and Festival on Annapolis City Dock to show support for America’s veterans, service-members, and their families and to raise money for veterans’ charitable organizations.
“After what happened in Afghanistan, America’s veterans, service-members and their loved ones are understandably unsettled that their collective sacrifices over two decades were in vain. So, we are organizing a two-day event to demonstrate to America’s warriors and their families that they have a reproducible ‘Sea of Support,’ and that we will honor their sacrifices now, not decades later with a monument and a ceremony. We can do better, we will do better, and we can do it today,” explained Vince Proffitt, Founder of Proffitt Brothers Foundation®.
Proceeds from the event will go to veterans’ charitable organizations, including Annapolis-based Valhalla Sailing Project and Live Water Foundation. The organizations will be offering sailing lessons and paddle boarding activities during the fall festival to fellow veterans, service members and their families.
The itinerary for American Heroes Benefit and Festival includes:
Masquerade Gala on Friday, November 5th 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Fall Festival on Saturday, November 6th 2:00 pm – 10:00 pm
“American Heroes Benefit and Festival will attract people from around the country who want to show their support for America’s warriors and their families during this difficult time for them,” added Vince Proffitt, Founder of Proffitt Brothers Foundation®. “People attending the event will also experience a weekend of fun and patriotism while raising money for great causes. It will be an event that will be talked about for years to come.”
