Warrior Gateway Heads to the Brickyard 400 to Bring Awareness and Support to Veteran and Military Family Resources
Arlington, VA (PRWEB) July 22, 2014
This Friday through Sunday, Warrior Gateway, in partnership with Grazie Media, is bringing veteran awareness to Brickyard 400 with “The Bravest 1%” Public Service Announcement. The PSA will be playing all weekend long in an effort to create awareness about the importance of connecting service members, veterans and military families to resources in their local communities. Twice an hour from July 25th through the 27th, Warrior Gateway’s public service announcement – along with audience reactions and interviews – will be playing on the Brickyard 400 big screen for all in attendance.
“For the second year in a row, Warrior Gateway is proud to honor our nation’s veterans and engage with Brickyard 400 fans through our PSA ‘The Bravest 1%’,” said Devin B. Holmes, Warrior Gateway’s Chief Executive Officer. “Through our ongoing partnership with Grazie Media we have been able to bring awareness at large scale events to the important work of the over 200,000 nonprofits listed on our G.I. Network supporting veterans and military families.”
With nearly 500,000 veterans currently living in Indiana, Warrior Gateway helps answer the question “Where do I go for help?” for both veterans and their families. There are thousands of organizations in the state serving the military community but it is often difficult for those in need to identify which services and resources best fit these needs. Warrior Gateway’s award winning technology solves that problem.
