Produced by Paraiso Pictures in partnership with Comcast, benefit concert will be honoring and supporting America's veterans by directly financing crucial resources and services instantly available through HonorVet.org. This national 501 (C) (3) organization was founded by two US Marines, Jesse Canella and Jim McCain, who served together in the Al Anbar Province in Iraq. The charitable purpose of HonorVet.org is to assist American veterans returning from years of wars by helping them to reestablish themselves in civilian life.
"The lineup for the benefit concert is as diverse as the culture of Miami, a city that is home to many of our Latino veterans," said Jesse Canella, CEO and Co-Founder of HonorVet.org. "Benefits from the event will help us continue supporting, through a wide array of services, those who unselfishly served our nation."
