Franklin Live Benefit Concert - Veterans Day Concert
2016-11-11 18:30 | TN
A Veterans Day Concert Tribute at Franklin LIVE – Nashville area entertainers support S.A.V.E. XXII in Nov. 11 concert

More than a dozen entertainers will perform in a Veterans Day concert at Franklin LIVE, a new live entertainment venue in downtown Franklin, TN, located at 408 Church Street. The event will begin at 6:30 PM CST, at which time it will also be streamed live on the web at www.FranklinLive.net. All proceeds from the Franklin LIVE! event will benefit S.A.V.E. XXII, a non-profit organization that supports Veterans, especially combat Veterans.

The Veterans Day concert will feature multi-talented singers and songwriters who have earned numerous awards including Artist of the Year, Best Country Live Performer, and Best Duo/Group. Some of these entertainers, top-selling songwriters, and emerging artists include: Billy Dawson, The Darlins, Tanya Davis, George Ducas, Dave Gibson, Jasmine Cain, Anthony Adams & the Nite Owls, Greg Pratt, Gunner S. Scott, Gabriel Wren, Gale Mayes, and a surprise guest performer.

According to S.A.V.E. XXII, our debt to heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. Every single day, war follows our Veterans home, and while we enjoy the freedoms these brave men and women secured for us, their battle continues every day. Now, it’s our turn to fight for them! They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices, as patriotically stated by President Harry S. Truman.

S.A.V.E. XXII promotes awareness of the problems facing our U.S. Veterans, many of whom are experiencing unexpected financial and other dangerous situations which call for immediate action.

Tickets for the concert are $22. For more information or to purchase a ticket, go to www.franklinlive.net. Certified onsite childcare is available.

How can you help S.A.V.E.? You can visit our home page, www.SAVEXXII.org. We will always have list of events so you will know where S.A.V.E. XXII will be and how you can support it. The long-term answer is that we cannot do this alone. That’s where YOU come in! By staying updated with our website, what really makes the difference is YOU. Eventually, every year our organization’s goal is to increase our contributions to our Veterans, but we can go nowhere and do nothing without your support. Simply put, our vision is this:
Selfless-service, Advocacy, Veteran, Emergency! We will always be there… we will always fight… we will always win for those that matter the MOST!
