Presented by the Foundation and the New York Comedy Festival, this year’s Stand Up for Heroes will be the 17th annual celebration honoring veterans and their families, raising awareness and funds for the Bob Woodruff Foundation, whose mission is to ensure that our nation’s veterans, service members, and their families “have stable and successful futures.”
“I’m thrilled to announce the 17th annual Stand Up for Heroes, an amazing night of hope, healing, and laughter to honor our nation’s veterans and their families,” said Bob Woodruff, ABC Correspondent and Co-Founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. “The evening will include a fantastic lineup of comedic and musical performances. Beyond that, Stand Up for Heroes will shine a light on the incredible service and sacrifice of our veterans, service members, and their families, and raise important funds to support the men and women who have had our back and who now need us to have theirs.”
Since its inception, Stand Up for Heroes has raised $70 million to help all veterans and military families.
