“Giving a veteran a chance to attend an event of this magnitude is what we strive for,” said Mike Focareto, Vet Tix CEO. “A trip to the NBA Finals game could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience our VetTixers will remember forever. We are grateful to wishU for understanding and supporting our purpose, and hope this inspires others in the community to event tickets as small tokens of gratitude for those who have served.”
Vet Tix works with teams, businesses and organizations, venues, and season ticket holders to collect and distribute tickets that enable veterans, service members and family of those killed in action to attend major sports games, concerts, and a diverse mix of other ticketed events, supporting community reintegration and personal health and happiness. Vet Tix is open to veterans, service members, caregivers and family of those killed in action, and to all branches and eras of service.
