A show being held next weekend at The Egg will raise money to get hundreds of care packages filled with essential items, snacks and more to troops over seas who can’t make it home for the holidays.

Ticket sales for the Blue Star Mothers Veterans Benefit go to the Capital Region Blue Star Mothers of America to help pay for postage on those packages. President Donna Abare says the fundraiser continues to be an important gift to the military personnel serving the country.

“There’s so many troops that don’t get anything around the holidays. When they get our boxes, it’s like a piece of home and a way to show they are not forgotten,” said Abare.

You can go to the egg.org/events to purchase tickets for $25 online or buy tickets for $35 at the door.
