Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop grassroots organization, announces their 10th star-studded live fundraiser that sends care packages to American troops deployed in war zones overseas.
Troopathon is proud to partner with NewsMaxTV, Wounded Warriors and Rogers Family Coffee to host “Troopathon 10 – Care Packages for Our Heroes” a 6-hour long fundraiser that brings together pro-troop movie stars, TV personalities, elected officials, professional athletes, musicians, talk radio hosts and many other supporters to encourage viewers to sponsor care packages for the troops serving overseas through the group’s website or by phone at (844) 2TROOPS (844-287-6677). “Troopathon 10 – Care Packages for the Troops” will be produced and broadcast live from the Move America Forward’s home base in Sacramento, CA on June 29 from 3:00 – 10:00pm Eastern, Noon – 7:00pm Pacific via the web and simulcast on Newsmax TV and Newsmax.com.
Troopathon Executive Producer, award-winning talk show host and author Melanie Morgan said, “All Americans can agree that our troops deserve our love and support, The cause we come together to support is incredibly important. With thousands of troops still on the ground in Afghanistan, we cannot forget their continued service and sacrifice. Troopathon remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting our troops in harm’s way!”
“Melanie and the Troopathon team are once again doing a tremendous service for America’s servicemen and women,” Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said. “They haven’t forgotten those who are sacrificing to keep us safe and we are proud to share their incredible work with our audience.”
Morgan will be joined again this year by co-host Rita Cosby, an Emmy-winning TV host, veteran correspondent and best-selling author. She is currently a special correspondent for CBS syndicated newsmagazine, Inside Edition and hosts “The Rita Cosby Show” on the legendary WABC Radio.
Morgan and Cosby will be joined by Newsmax Now anchor John Bachman, and special guests Dionne Warwick, Chuck Woolery, Tony Orlando and Rich Little. Special segments will be hosted by syndicated radio stars Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham.
