“The Boot Girls are incredibly appreciative of Zac Brown Band for joining the Boot Campaign to encourage Americans to express their patriotism and gratitude for our Armed Forces,” said Sherri Reuland, Co-Founder of the Boot Campaign. “Zac Brown Band is going beyond the boots and making the push for Pushups for Charity – our annual event which aims to raise $1 million to further our mission of cultivating awareness, promoting patriotism, and providing assistance to our military, past and present, and their families.”
Through the 5th Annual Pushups for Charity, Americans throughout the country will show their support of the 1.4 million men and women who are currently serving by completing as many pushups as they can in 90 seconds. Pushups for Charity’s goal is to have participants complete 1.4 million pushups and raise $1 million to serve troops through the Boot Campaign, which helps veterans by providing jobs, housing, education, wellness, urgent assistance and family support. In past years, Pushups for Charity has raised more than $600,000 for the Boot Campaign. http://PushupsforCharity.com
Zac Brown Band joins more than 400 musicians, actors, professional athletes and other newsmakers who have traded their regular footwear for a pair of the Boot Campaign’s signature “give back” combat boots. The Boot Campaign encourages Americans to lace up a pair of combat boots as a tangible display of gratitude for those who serve. The boots serve a dual purpose as one of the primary fundraising mechanisms for the Texas-based nonprofit.
