HEROES4HEROES OFFERS WAYS TO HELP THE TROOPS


Press Release

Heroes4Heroes has announcements and updates for the enthusiasts and professionals of the various entertainment communities.

In case you missed the Wizard World Texas Live Art Show that launched
Heroes4Heroes, the new 503(c) non-profit corporation 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, MP3 players, and video game systems. H4H takes
donations of media material that they will directly pass on to active
military personnel and raises funds to purchase, transport and
distribute the donations.

- A direct-to-Iraq shipment needs to be filled! The 2nd Battalion 8th
Cavalry has 42 soldiers that H4H is currently building care packets
for. The members of this Regiment have specifically requested magazines
that cover hunting, fishing, guns and men’s topics (Maxim Magazine was
mentioned by name). H4H wants to fill specific requests, as well give
additional entertainment material that will surprise our men and women
in uniform, so please give what you can.

- H4H is in the final stages of putting together a program to provide
Xbox 360s for USO stations! An anonymous supporter of our troops has
made it possible for H4H to implement a program that helps the USO do
their great work. While the contribution is a wonderful gift for our
returning troops that are staying here at home, H4H is requesting Xbox
360 accessories (extra controllers, headsets, adaptors, etc.) and games
to properly outfit this charity package. The USO station in Dallas, TX
will be the first to receive the Xbox 360 charity pack and we will roll
the program out nationally through out next year.

- Comic book artists are helping in a big way! Tone Rodriguez, Rick
Hoberg and Steve Bennett have all donated outstanding original art that
will be up for auction at the H4H site soon. Here’s a huge “Thank you”
to them as well as Brock Rizy, Kristian Donaldson, Benjamin Hall, Tom
Kurzanski, Cal Slayton, Kody Chamberlain, Cheeks and Marc Wolfe who all
donated their time and art at the live art show benefit in November.
The art show was a complete success, reached every goal and was
supported by Agg Productions with supplies donated by Zeus Comics. H4H
encourages any artists that believe in the H4H effort to give any
available original art for auction.

- H4H is in contact with the USO, Chaplains and Fort Hood MWR! The
civilian media distribution charity has a working relationship with the
United Service Organization, is getting started with the US Army
Chaplain Center and is ironing out the details with Fort Hood Morale,
Welfare & Recreation. Heroes4Heroes has made it a primary goal to
provide reading material for soldiers on their way to assignment
overseas and those in medical centers. There will be more information
on the H4H website as news develops.

- The future is bright! Heroes4Heroes is working with major media
outlets, publishers, studios, producers, distributors and creators to
raise awareness of supporting our troops with entertainment media
donations. If you or a contact of yours can help with the cause, please
contact the charity directly.

- Your donations matter! $5 can make a big difference and will help
with bulk orders of material, transportation and legal fees. If you are
like most pop culture fans and the H4H staffers, and only have a
massive media collection to your name, this charity is perfect for you
– Heroes4Heroes will gladly accept your media donations.

Thank you for considering Heroes4Heroes this year as a tax-deductible
charity recipient. It is important that we remember who our real heroes
are during time of gift-giving and celebration. Whether or not you give
at this time, please take a moment with your family to think about the
commitment our servicemen & women are making on our behalf.
