In 2024, we hosted a benefit BBQ dinner in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. For the 2025 convention, we have decided to do it again in support of a new charitable organization, The Tunnel to Towers Foundation (T2T.org). T2T was founded by Frank Siller in honor of his brother Stephen Siller, who was a young firefighter killed responding to the Twin Towers on 9/11.
The event will be held at the Virginia Air and Space Center in downtown Hampton VA on Thursday August 7th. Seating will be limited to 180.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation provides incredible support to our Service members and First-Responder communities. They pay off the outstanding mortgages of Service members and First-Responders, killed in the line of duty. They also retrofit the homes of Service members catastrophically injured in the line of duty so that they can remain independent in their own homes. Finally they are purchasing vacant old hotel properties and converting them to housing for homeless veterans, and providing on-site job placement, and other medical and mental health services to those residents.
Over 95 cents of every dollar donated to T2T goes to these efforts!
Tickets will be available during pre-registration at myipmsusa.org when pre-registration opens in early Spring 2025.
We hope you'll plan to attend this special event. But please visit the T2T.org website to learn more about this amazing organization and consider giving just $11.00 per month on your own.
