Being There-Reaching Out Mission Statement

To assist the families of the Wisconsin men and women lost in, or due to our nation's wars. To be there for them emotionally, physically, and economically.  And to reach out to them by organizing primarily private gatherings which allow them to continue to heal through one-on-one communication and sharing with one another.

BT-RO is not a political organization. We are honored to print and share any work you do as Families of our Fallen, and it is our hope that we can share such without causing disagreements among you. 
Our goal is to aid in your healing, irrelevant of your varied viewpoints and political beliefs, therefore it is our hope you will also respect an opinion that may be different from yours. Thank you.

March 9th, 2013

On behalf of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Robin Yount and Kapco President Jim Kacmarcik, I am pleased to invite you to attend the third annual Grand Slam Charity Jam on March 9, 2013 at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee.

As you will see from the attached invitation, this is a highly unique and fun celebrity event featuring country star Phil Vassar, Danny Gokey and Naima Adedapo of American Idol, with special appearances by Robin Yount, Ethan Zohn of CBS Survivor and many other celebrities.

Our signature charity partner this year is the brand new Camp Hometown Heroes– a week-long free summer camp for children who lost a parent, uncle or aunt through service in the U.S. Military. Over 5,000 children in the U.S. have lost a parent through military service in recent years and our hope is to provide these kids with friendship, fun and healing. Even if you cannot attend the Grand Slam Charity Jam, we would welcome your support of Camp Hometown Heroes viawww.hometownheroes.org

Orchestra level seating sells out very fast so if you have not already ordered your tickets please be in touch with me as soon as possible to reserve your tickets and tables.

We are also welcoming support through auction donations and event sponsorships and those materials are attached.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
