Being an army wife for 15 yrs., when I saw the notice I was there. And Avant was singing awesome as usual. Their goal is 175,000L. They are getting close:)
Below is the information shared with me by Frets Nirvana, who Avant says is the single most accomplished musician on the grid.
"Frets Nirvana and US Military Veterans Group announce November 27 Wounded Warriors Benefit concert.
Frets Nirvana, the premier guitar artist in the virtual world Second Life and US Military Veterans Group announce the eleventh in the 2011 series of monthly concerts for the Wounded Warriors Project to be scheduled for November 27, 2011.
More than 30,000 troops have been injured in recent conflicts, many of them suffering traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and severe burns. Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) provides services and programs to ease their burdens and aid in the transition back to civilian life.
Initiated by Frets Nirvana and supported by the US Military Veterans Group in Second Life, this concert on November 27, 2011 is the tenth in the series to be scheduled monthly in 2011. Frets Nirvana states “There are many great charitable organizations in the world that do great work. This is especially true in the United States. However, without the sacrifices our Veterans make none of these other charities could possibly be supported because tyranny would prevail and good causes could not be supported.” Further Frets Nirvana states “ In 2010 with the support of many in Second Life we were successful in sending over 175,000 Linden which is the equivalent of over $4400 to the Wounded Warriors Project. We hope to reach the target of $11,000 in 2011. To emphasize that ...we have raised over $7600 US in 2011 so far.”
Wounded Warriors concerts will feature premier Second Life Talent the last Sunday of each month at Patriot Island. The concert on November is scheduled from 4 -9PM PST. Featured artists will be DJ Waya Snowpaw, PonDman Haalan, Alex Mays, Frets Nirvana, and Avantegarde Frequency.
ABOUT WOUNDED WARRIORS - Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need. The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors." Wounded Warriors program has developed significantly over the last several years to include advocacy, benefits counseling, caregivers retreats, coping/family services, peer mentoring, warriors to work and many other programs for the benefit of United States wounded veterans.
