DECEMBER 2017 20 | FRONTDOORSMEDIA .COM also include operas, concerts, plays, family programs, symphonies, comedy clubs and even admission to theme parks. We also have over a dozen military partners like the VA, Semper Fi Fund, Armed Services YMCA, Blue Star Families, Service Women’s Action Network, and Military Caregivers Network. All these partners see our value we provide and support us. 6. How have ticket donors responded to the work of Vet Tix? They are aware of a few things, first we help them fill seats and our attendees spend money at events they would not have garnered. According to our team of donors, 25 to 50 percent of tickets donated to nonprofits are actually used. Vet Tix usage is 90 percent. They also write off the value of ticket and help vets…it’s a win-win-win. 7. How does Vet Tix help veterans engage with the community? Sadly, in our survey we learned 15 percent of the 28,000 respondents were uncomfortable going out and to events, some have PTSD. We insist that two tickets be requested…we want interaction with others. Now 50 percent of those folks are ok with going to events because they know other VetTixers will be around them. 8. How many veterans have benefitted from Vet Tix? More than 600,000 since 2008. Approximately 20,000 in Arizona alone. 9. What kind of positive impact do you feel Vet Tix has had on the community? We help fill seats with happy people who spend a few bucks at the venues. Our economic impact in the community was over $31 million in tickets shared. 10. How can community members help further Vet Tix’s mission? Simple, If you are a vet or currently serving… sign up! It’s easy through vettix.org. Second, if you are an individual and not going to events, donate them to get a write off and help a vet. If you are involved with an organization, theatre or team and you know tickets are not being used, we can help you fill those seats and get a write off. They too can be uploaded electronically on vettix.org or sent physically to us. 10 QUESTIONS WITH... CONTINUED
