Podcast 36 - Prince Harry supports US Veterans & Military Families in Stand Up for Heroes.

Prince Harry is set to participate in the 14th annual Stand Up for Heroes event that is presented by the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the New York Comedy Festival. This year's event will be held virtually for the first time, and will air on November 18th on ABC network and on various social media channels.

One of the aims of this event is to raise awareness and funds for the Bob Woodruff Foundation. So what is the Bob Woodruff Foundation?

Usually the Foundation invests in non-profits seeking diverse and long-term solutions for US veterans, military members, and their families. However, they are not averse to giving some stop-gap investments when times are tough.

In 2020, the Foundation gave ‘expedited grants’ totalling 2 million dollars worth of investment to provide urgent support to veterans impacted by Covid-19. Funds were given to a whole multitude of organizations both local and national in America.

The work that the foundation does is trying to meet the holistic needs of veterans is a good match to the work that Prince Harry has been doing for UK soldiers. As a former solider and a veteran himself, Harry understands the importance of looking after the long term needs of the men and women who have served their countries.

I wonder if Prince Harry will be doing a comedy skit?

Here hoping that this years Stand Up for Heroes raises lots of funds for this extremely good cause!
