Tickets On Sale for Honor Flight "Made in America" Benefit Concert

On June 3, 2012, Honor Flight Chicago will be hosting the “Made in America Tour” featuring Ricky Lee, a Nashville Recording Artist. The benefit concert will be held at the Paramount Theatre, located at 23 East Galena Blvd., Aurora, IL.

This will be a major fundraiser; all of the proceeds will benefit Honor Flight Chicago. The opening act will be Chicagoland’s patriotic sweethearts, the Legacy Girls.

The goal of the benefit is to raise enough money to send 200 World War II Veterans to Washington D.C. to see their memorial before it is too late. These trips are free to the veterans, who have a chance to see their memorial that was built 60 years after the war ended.

To date, Honor Flight Chicago has flown over 3,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. and have over 1000 on a waiting list. On each trip to Washington, D.C. they take 95 to 100 veterans. The cost of each trip is $50,000.00 or $500.00 per veteran. Sponsorships are available and encouraged.

The Made in America tour will host two shows at the Paramount on June 3, 2012, at 2pm and 6pm. The cost of the tickets is $40 for general admission and $20 for World War II veterans.
