Heroes4Heroes on the Move
Heroes4Heroes is a 503(c) non-profit foundation that is dedicated to boosting the morale of members of the United States Military by keeping our men and women culturally tuned-in with comic books, DVDs, CDs, books, magazines, and games.
- Mack Attack! Comic book creative powerhouse, David Mack sent three massive boxes of donations to Heroes4Heroes HQ which included 900 signed issues of Kabuki #1 - 4 comic books. Many copies will be a part of shipments to troops while others will be used in future fundraising initiatives. David had the following to say: " We want our service men and women to know we are thinking of them and I'm happy to help Heroes4Heroes in any way I can. They are putting so much on the line, the least I can do is send them signed comics to let them know they are thought of and respected and appreciated, and hopefully this gives them a little slice of home. "
- Packing Party! The trusty H4H volunteer legion is meeting this Saturday at the H4H HQ to pack shipments that leave Monday morning for Iraq. Books, comics, magazines, cards and supplies are being sent out to the 42 soldiers of the 2nd Battalion 6th Cavalry. If you would like to help organize and pack the H4H kits, please show up at Maddness Games and Comics located at 111 E. University Dr. Suite 112, Denton, Texas 76209 at 1pm this Saturday, 1/13.
