Veteran Tickets Foundation Sending Two Lucky Veterans to Final Four NCAA Basketball Championship Game

Press Releases

Game tickets were generously donated by SRP to the nonprofit to give American hero’s an unforgettable sports experience.

PHOENIX, AZ – Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix), a national nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans re-acclimate to civilian life after service through community experiences, is sending Eric Smith, former United States Navy and Chuck Martin, a former airman in the United States Air Force, to the Final Four of the 2017 NCAA Basketball championship game. The four tickets were donated by Arizona utility company Salt River Project (SRP).

Vet Tix partners with major sports teams, large businesses and organizations, venues, leagues, and season ticket holders to collect and distribute tickets to military members, honorably discharged veterans and family members of those killed in action. Getting to participate in community events once they return from service allows veterans an enjoyable, stress-free experience that helps with reintegration into the community and family bonding. Vet Tix has provided more than 2.8 million tickets to over 500,000 deserving service members, but this is the first time Final Four tickets have ever been donated.

“Giving a veteran a chance to attend an event of this magnitude is what we strive for,” said Mike Focareto, CEO of Veteran Tickets Foundation. “A trip to the Final Four is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience Chuck and Eric will remember forever. We are extremely grateful to SRP for understanding and supporting our purpose, and hope this inspires others in the community to continue sending us event tickets as small tokens of gratitude for those who have served.”

The 2017 Final Four starts Saturday, April 1, in Glendale, Arizona.
