GREEN RIVER — Pin-ups On Tour’s National Touring Production is set to perform in Green River on Sunday, October 11, at 7 pm at the American Legion Post 28.
Thanks to a partnership with American Legion Post 28, participants are encouraged to get dolled up and join these gals for a vintage burlesque and variety show that supports hospitalized veterans. The group works to recreate the bawdy fun of vaudevillian theaters so popular across America during and after World War II.
As a way to thank veterans, they can attend free while tickets last. This show is for those who are 18 years and older. Those wanting to attend should RSVP at: www.pinupsontour.com
The groups’ mission to make veterans smile, these performers bring a family-friendly version of our show and gifts to hospitalized veterans across America who aren’t able to make it out to the events.
Despite the limitations on fundraisers and events during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pin-Ups On Tour has been working tirelessly to continue their mission to make veterans smile. Between virtual fundraisers, implementing new COVID-19 Prevention Policies for all live events, and virtual community outreach projects, this group of performers has been able to adapt and overcome in the current, ever changing climate.
Pin-Ups On Tour realized early on that our nation’s heroes were being left isolated in veterans homes and VA facilities with little contact with the outside world. In a time of social media and virtual entertainment, the group focused their efforts to bring joy and smiles to these isolated veterans to help them maintain their mental wellbeing and remind them they are not forgotten.
Since the group first started entertaining veterans in 2015, Pin-Ups on Tour has performed in 45 states, donated over 3,500 tickets back to our military heroes, and has been able to entertain close to 3,000 active duty and veteran service members in our nation’s VA hospitals.
In these past few years, Pin-Ups on Tour has donated over $50,000 in free veteran tickets and monetary donations to nonprofits such as AmVets, Heels for Combat Boots, Recon Sniper Foundation, Pin-Ups for Vets, American Legion posts and VFW posts.
The group’s heartfelt and glitzy work has been featured on The Huffington Post, the American Legion Magazine, the Hallmark Channel, ABC News, Good Day LA, Good Morning San Diego, Fox News, Larry King, KTLA, Idiotest, We Are the Mighty, The Tampa Bay Times, and the Game Show Network.
