| October 04, 2013 - Stars and Stripes - Benefit for the Troops
Networking Night Out! New York, New York!
Twitter: @USOMetroStars
USO of Metropolitan Washington's Stars & Stripes is an annual networking event and fundraiser that joins 500 corporate sponsors, individual donors, honored wounded warrior guests-and even a few local celebrities-in a fun, social B2B atmosphere. USO-Metro also recognizes its annual Circle of Stars members- an elite group of the organization's top corporate sponsors- in conjunction with Stars and Stripes.
USO-Metro's Stars and Stripes event benefits USO-Metro's vital support programs for the area's service members and their families, including support of the injured, ill and recovering. We hope you will join us in supporting our troops and their families in 2013. Your support will help thousands living in our local military community benefit from USO-Metro's countless efforts, including programs for children with deployed parents while they are at the local area bases, support services for spouses, emergency housing programs, among many other programs.
