DeLuna Fest is proud to support the USO by donating a portion of proceeds from festival ticket sales. Taking place on the sandy white beaches of Pensacola, FL, September 21 - 23rd, DeLuna Fest highly regards its tie with the Gulf Coast military community which hosts one of the largest military populations in the country. DeLuna Fest began their relationship with the USO, a non-profit that benefits America’s troops and their families, in 2011 with a festival donation. This year, the USO will receive $1 donation from each admission ticket purchased to DeLuna Fest, with a minimum donation of $10,000.“DeLuna Fest is thrilled to be able to give back to a community of people who give so much of themselves,” says DeLuna Fest Managing Partner, Scott Mitchell. “The military is such a large part of Pensacola and its history; this relationship with the USO is a natural fit.”Discounted tickets will be available regionally to the men and women who serve in our armed forces, their family members and all DoD civilian employees in the Gulf Coast region. USO Northwest Florida encompasses 3 USO Centers and supports 9 major Military installations throughout the Florida Panhandle.For information on DeLuna Fest including ticketing, lodging, and shuttle services, visit www.delunafest.com About the USOThe USO (United Service Organizations) lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families millions of times each year at hundreds of places worldwide.
