INEVENTS Fourth Annual ‘Country Sounds for Soldiers’ Concert for Operation Troop Appreciation Homegrown country artists with a “party down South” attitude took the stage at Irwin’s Lamp Theater on April 19 for the Fourth Annual Country Sounds for Soldiers Concert. Sponsored by S&T Bank, the concert raised over $2,000 for Operation Troop Appreciation, a Pittsburgh- based nonprofit that provides support for members of the military community and their families. Military vehicles delivered veterans to the event and they were entertained by an incredible lineup of local musicians. Since 2004, Operation Troop Appreciation (OTA), a 100-percent-volunteer charity, has been dedicated to supporting both active and veteran members of our Armed Forces. Approximately 90 percent of all funding and donations from this volunteer organization goes directly to troops and veterans. More than 171,000 servicemembers and veterans have received help through OTA. Photos by Primetime Shots. 8 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com
