Airplane Pull at Air Show to Benefit Wounded Warriors

PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE (June 26, 2012) – While the United States Navy Blue Angels perform their high-flying act in the sky, hundreds of participants will be on the ground helping support our nation’s wounded warriors at the 2012 Service Credit Union Boston – Portsmouth Air Show.  The show will host the VW Pull for Wounded Warriors July 1 at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease. The VW Pull for Wounded Warriors will raise funds to benefit the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire (BIANH). This year’s air show will take to the skies June 30 and July 1 and features the United States Navy Blue Angels along with a high-profile lineup of military and civilian performers.

The VW Pull for Wounded Warriors is a giant tug-of-war where teams of up to twenty five members pull an enormous aircraft weighing more than 130,000 pounds.  Previous teams have consisted of co-workers, college students, sports teams, military units, and other groups that wish to have fun and support the BIANH.  Teams need to register for the pull and must raise $1,500 to participate.  BIANH hopes to raise at least $50,000 at the Service Credit Union Boston – Portsmouth Air Show.

BIANH works to provide support for all New Hampshire residents living with brain injury. Traumatic brain injury is the main injury from the war on terror and due to a large number of troops returning from battle, BIANH’s services are in high demand.  BIANH helps raise awareness about the needs of the service members living with brain injury and to educate others about brain injury. Brain injury often requires lifelong support and assistance.

“According to the military data, twenty percent of all ground forces suffer from TBI,” said Ron Snow of BIANH. “Those are huge numbers and it is important that our service members are not left alone without assistance.  The BIANH strongly appreciates all the sacrifices our military has gone through and we want to be the organization that supports those living with traumatic brain injury.”

BIANH was founded by parents of brain injured children, who came together to support one another and work to assure that needed services were available to New Hampshire citizens with brain injury and their family members. “I like to think of the BIANH as the GPS for people living with acquired brain injuries through the myriad of services available,” said Snow. “We will guide them to the support they need.”

For more information on the VW Pull for Wounded Warriors or to register, visit www.bostonportsmouthairshow.com/pull_for_the_wounded_warrior

Tickets for the air show are available at www.BostonPortsmouthAirShow.com . The Service Credit Union Boston – Portsmouth Air Show is being jointly produced by the Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America and the Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire. These two organizations, along with more than 30 other local not-for-profit groups, benefit from the show.
