We are starting this campaign to raise the start-up funds for a new charity in Canada called Tickets for Troops Canada. It has a mirror image in the United Kingdom (Tickets for Troops) and a similar venture in the United States (Vettix) . However, the conecpt is new to Canada and requires a great deal of effort to launch. The charity is dedicated to enabling Canadians to easily say "Thank you" to Service Members and Veterans. It is not affiliated with the Department of National Defence or the Canadian Forces. The charity (once established) will operate at arms length from DND.
Tickets for Troops Canada is established to recognise the brave servicemen and women who spend months away from their families, need to be available to serve at short notice and stand for our country. We recognise their commitment, drive and dedication by offering them, on behalf of our donours, tickets to events which they can share with their loved ones, as a small acknowledgement of the work they do.
Giving free event tickets is an expression of appreciation, acknowledgement and an enduring symbol that we, as a nation, honour the service of our troops today and long after their service has ended. Helping veterans attend events provides positive family and life experiences after their years of service to Canada.
Wounds of war, both mental and physical, can stay with our veterans for the rest of their lives. Giving to our veterans and supporting the transitions back into their families and communities, is a gift of gratitude in which we all can take part and which is so meaningful to them. Attending these events reduces stress through entertainment, strengthens family bonds, builds life long memories and encourages service members to stay engaged with Canadian life and local communities.
Funds raised through this appeal will help cover the costs of the start-up of Tickets for Troops Canada. None of these funds will be used to pay for the salary of any person volunteering in this cause. 100% will be used for start-up costs. Any surplus money raised will be transfered to the operating fund once established. Funds collected will be accounted for using industry standard accounting practices. We cannot offer tax receipts at this time, however, when complete, hope to be able to do so. We will however recognise your support on our webpage Ticketsfortroops.ca once operational!
If you are a serving Member or Veteran please visit our facebook page (Tickets for Troops Canada). Updates on how to get involved will be posted there. If you cannot donate, think about helping out in other ways. We will need lots of help!
