Honoring Veterans Through Art and Action
The PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes has made headlines recently after receiving esteemed accolades at the Shorty and Telly Awards, recognizing its commitment to support veterans during their transition from military to civilian life. The organization was awarded the Audience Honor Shorty Award in the Call to Action category for its moving song, "The Least We Can Do," as well as a Bronze Telly Award in the General Social Impact category for the compelling video, "Art that Saves" in collaboration with CreatiVets.
A Call to Action
The song "The Least We Can Do" resonates deeply with its audience, bringing forth a universal message: while not everyone serves in the military, each person can contribute by supporting those who have. The accompanying music video aims to inspire donations and increase awareness, driving home the importance of community support for veterans and their families. The artistic endeavor combines powerful narratives, visuals that tug at the heartstrings, and an evocative score to foster a spirit of generosity.
“We are especially excited to be honored for 'The Least We Can Do' and 'Art that Saves' because they speak to the heart of our mission,” said Andrea McCarren, President of the PenFed Foundation. “These projects symbolize a call to action and underscore our dedication to uplifting the military community.”
