net proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to provide financial assistanceto local seriously wounded troops from our own Tri-valley community. This unprecedented event is put on through the collaboration of VFW Post 6298,American Legion Post 237, Valley Veterans Foundation and Pleasanton Military Families.  The event’s non-profit sponsor is the Stand Up & Play Foundation, a national organization providing mobility devices to wounded troops as well as the disabled public.

concert format will be similar to Wente’s Summer Concert Series with three

levels of seating, two of which are dinner seating options.
