Overview

It has been an American business tradition to recognize Veterans Day and Memorial Day with "SALES". Beyond Tribute’s eleven-eleven initiative will transform our national holidays by actually raising money from SALES to help our veterans and families.

Beyond Tribute will engage the American business community and its customers in a campaign to raise funds for nonprofit organizations that provide direct services to our wounded warriors and their families, with a focus on the physical and invisible wounds of war.

It's the natural way for the 99% of Americans who support our troops to actively help the 1% who serve in our military and millions of veterans in need.
