History
The concept of Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) was developed when Disabled Veteran Michael Focareto (US Navy) attended the 2008 Super Bowl in Phoenix, AZ. As the seat next to him went empty for the entire game, Focareto wondered why it had not been filled with one of the military members who presented down on the field before the game started. Focareto quickly formed a team of individuals who would help him carry out his mission.
In 2016, Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) has given away over 810,959 FREE tickets (in all 50 states and DC) to deserving veterans, currently serving military members and their families at a value over $31.5 Million. Since their inception, Vet Tix has given away over 2,633,933 tickets with an estimates face value of $99,494,420.00... serving over 500,000 Military and Veteran Families
