"Swing Back to the '40s" benefiting The Wounded Warrior Project

I'm sorry you feel that way about the WWP and honestly they were not my first choice to benefit from this event. I agree that they spend to much on marketing and swag that I feel should go more towards people who need it, but this is my first attempt at a military fundraiser and I needed the brand recognition of WWP in order to create interest and attract sponsers and donatations. If I can get enough attendees to attempt a second annual event I would be interested in helping lesser known charities who have better ratings.

From a marketing perspective, I can understand that. Having said that, they already have a multi million dollar marketing machine, which is where a lot of your fundraising will go toward... If anything, they should foot the bill for the PR...

Thank you, Master Chief! Looking forward to seeing you there, we still have many tickets left so please tell your friends!
