#HugAHero- Send a Valentine to our Troops While Raising Funds for Liberty USO!
Monday, February 13, 2017
Liberty USO is excited to launch #HugAHero to honor the military men and women protecting our freedom. #HugAHero offers the opportunity to send a hug or kiss to an active military service member to remind them how grateful we are for their bravery and sacrifice for our nation’s freedom. On Monday, February 13, join Flying Fish Crafthouse in giving thanks with fun beer garden games, and light bites complimentary of Chef Brian Duffy while enjoying live music by Jerry Lee Watkins of B101 FM. A $20 donation at the door gets you into the event, and includes two drink tickets. All proceeds will benefit the Liberty USO.
In addition to online and social media outreach, Liberty USO volunteers will be at locations throughout the Delaware Valley during #HugAHero week to raise awareness for the campaign and allow the public to send on-the-spot valentines to troops. Supporters also have the option to post a picture of their personal “hero,” and send them love through USO social media sites. Service Members will receive an email notification that they have been sent a Hug or Kiss.

WHAT: #HugAHero allows individuals to send a hug or kiss to an active military service member to remind them that their service is appreciated. Flying Fish Crafthouse will offer a special “hero” sandwich all week from February 7- 14 and $2 of each sandwich goes to Liberty USO.

ABOUT Liberty USO:
Liberty USO lifts the spirits of and provides services to American troops and their families that reside in or pass through Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
