Nashville, TN  – Heroes Vodka Founder Travis McVey presents a $14,000 check to AMVETS at the  Marine Corps 240th Birthday Party on Nov. 10, 2015 hosted by ACME Feed & Seed.
Nashville, TN – Heroes Vodka Founder Travis McVey presents a $14,000 check to AMVETS at the Marine Corps 240th Birthday Party on Nov. 10, 2015 hosted by ACME Feed & Seed.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 18, 2015 -- Heroes Vodka and its founder, U.S. Veteran Travis McVey, will present an official “giveback” check for $14,000 to AMVETS on Dec. 9, 2015 at the Union League Club, located at 38 E. 37th St, New York, NY 10016. The presentation will be made between 5-7PM in the bar area of the Club.

I’m reminded of the words of Sir Winston Churchill, ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’ The Heroes Vodka donation to AMVETS makes a difference in the lives of brave men and women who fight for our country. – Travis McVey

Post this

Now in its fourth year, Heroes Vodka’s annual donation to help support Veterans’ programs is an ongoing commitment by the award-winning spirit to give back a portion of every purchase to benefit U.S. Veterans and their families. McVey dedicates the month of November to American Heroes by traveling to stores and bars that sell his product and personally thanking them for their support. He also takes the opportunity to pose for photos with the official donation check.

“Each year around Veterans Day, I’m reminded of the words of Sir Winston Churchill, ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’ Because of the continuing support from Heroes Vodka fans, our annual donation to AMVETS makes a difference in the lives of brave men and women who fight for our country,” says McVey.

Since its market launch in 2012, Heroes Vodka, a naturally gluten and glycerin free spirit, is bottled at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Heroes Vodka is the proud recipient of nine gold and silver medals for exceptional taste, awarded in blind tastings, including the prestigious 2015 San Diego International Spirits Competition.

The mission of Heroes Vodka is to provide exceptional taste and superior value to consumers, while honoring Veterans and other American service organizations through charitable contributions. A portion of every Heroes Vodka purchase goes to its Giveback Partner, AMVETS, to develop community assistance programs for American Veterans, active duty military and their families. To date, Heroes Vodka has donated $34,884 to support America's military Heroes.

In November 2015, McVey is traveling cross country visiting markets in Indiana, California, Tennessee, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Alabama, and New York. He carries an over-sized check to present to the stores, restaurants and bars that sell Heroes Vodka. As he poses for photos with the owners and staff, one important thing never escapes his mind; McVey truly believes it is the responsibility of each generation to honor and remember the enormous commitment and sacrifice Veterans have made to ensure and protect our most precious resource – America’s freedom.

ABOUT HEROES VODKA
Heroes Vodka is an award-winning, Veteran-owned premium American vodka. It was first bottled on Veterans Day – 11.11.11 – a date that occurs only once in a century and epitomizes the rarity of this event. A gluten-free spirit, Heroes Vodka has received multiple Gold and Silver Medals in national Tasting and Spirit Competitions. Made from 100% American corn, each batch is distilled four times to create an ultra-pure, world-class spirit.

Every purchase of Heroes Vodka supports American Veterans through AMVETS, its Official Giveback Partner. HeroesVodka.com
