As you know, Fort Wainwright and Eielson AFB have a big deployment this spring. It just so happens that our annual family program for this year is on April 30, in the midst of this deployment.

Every year FCA presents at least one program that has appeal for all ages, with a low ticket price that families can afford to attend and enjoy together. It is an important part of our commitment to the community. For our family program, FCA always donates a few hundred tickets to military and families who may be in need.

This year, we have decided to raise enough extra dollars to donate 500 tickets to the families of deployed and deploying soldiers. We want to give them an opportunity to forget for a couple of hours what lies ahead, to share a good laugh with their kids and take away a memory which will help sustain them in the coming year.

Although our initial goal is 500 tickets, we’d love to provide this for all our deploying soldiers and their families. If community response is sufficient we would cancel our plans for another community event April 29th and add a second show, allowing us to offer 2,000 free tickets to these families. We are coming up on a deadline to make that decision.

To achieve this goal we'll need considerable support from the community. We are hoping you can help.

Let’s come together as a community to make this happen.

We are encouraging people to join us in buying a block of tickets for a family whose husband, wife, mother or father has or will be deploying. You can do this as an individual, through your service organization or business.

Donations can be made to the FCA Education Partnership, but note Military Appreciation. You can do this through our website at our concerts or through the FCA office. The Armed Services YMCA is standing by to deliver tickets

Sincerely,

Anne Biberman, Executive Director

Scott McCrea, Board President

and the board and staff of FCA

We appreciate any help you, your business or service organization could give us.

The cost of adding 500 tickets is a mere $10,000, a gift of $200 = 10 tickets, $500 = 25 tickets, $800 = 40 tickets, $1,000 = 50 tickets.
