The PenFed Foundation was honored to provide tickets through Vet Tix for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families to attend the Champions to the Rescue Benefit Concert in Walnut Creek, CA, on January 25, 2025. Proceeds from this event will support the new nonprofit organization founded by baseball legend Tony La Russa, La Russa Rescue Champions, which is dedicated to companion animal welfare.
The feedback from attendees speaks volumes about the impact of these opportunities. Many shared how the concert brought back cherished memories, allowed them to connect with fellow veterans, and gave them a night of unforgettable entertainment.
Here’s what some attendees had to say:
“My wife, son, daughter-in-law and I had a wonderful time reliving great memories of going to see the A’s play in Oakland. You put on a great show! Thank you to The PenFed Foundation and VetTix!” – Frederick, U.S. Navy Veteran

“It was amazing that they recognized veterans all night long. It was neat to see retired Oakland A’s players. Thank you again!” – Douglas, U.S. Army Veteran

We are grateful to Vet Tix for helping us make experiences like this possible. Moments like these remind us why we are committed to serving those who serve.
