WHY:Event proceeds benefit the Bob Hope USO, which in 2016 is celebrating its 75th year of supporting America’s troops. The event will make a huge difference for the more than 200,000 troops served each year throughout the community, at bases, and at Bob Hope USO centers at Los Angeles, Ontario, Palm Springs and John Wayne Airports. The USO lifts the spirits of America’s troops by providing a home away from home and keeping them connected to the families they left behind. The USO also supports Families of the Fallen and helps our service members transition from military service back to civilian life. All Bob Hope USO programs and services, including food and beverages, are provided free to military service members and their families.

Bob Hope USO is the fastest-growing USO in the nation, serving the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside and Kern. A non-profit organization, Bob Hope USO relies on private, tax-deductible contributions from individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations to support its programs and services. Donations to the Comedy Radiothon and Bob Hope USO can be made at www.BobHopeUSO.org.
