Country Music Artist Granger Smith Sets Out on Fourth 100-Mile Walk to Honor U.S. Armed Forces
4th Annual Boot Walk Scheduled for May 4-8,2014 from Austin, TX to Fort Hood. Public Welcome to Join Smith On the Walk of Gratitude.
Austin, TX (March 17, 2014) – Country music artist and proud patriot Granger Smith is lacing up his BOOTS once again for the fourth annual Boot Walk, May 4-8, 2014. Granger will begin the 100-mile trek in Austin, Texas and will spend five days wearing out those combat boots all the way to Fort Hood. Granger will celebrate the completion of the walk with friends William Clark Green, Josh Grider, Brian Keane, and Cody Bryan in concert Thursday, May 8th at Fort Hood Harley Davidson in Harker Heights, TX. More artists will be announced soon. Proceeds raised from the Boot Walk and concert benefit the Boot Campaign, a national 501c3 non-profit dedicated to promoting patriotism, raising awareness, and providing assistance to military families.
“Boot Walk started as a crazy extension of my entertainment tours in Iraq as a way to say thank you to our armed forces. Now at year 4, it has turned into a very passionate fundraiser to me,” said Granger Smith. “I firmly believe that my career as a musician is enabled by the brave men & women that ensure our freedom. There’s not a month in the year now that I’m not wearing combat boots and thinking about the next 100 miles.”
Granger is inviting friends to join him on this walk of gratitude: whether it’s by raising funds for his efforts, joining him locally on the walk or by hosting a “shadow walk” in your hometown.
