SemperComm Partners with An Entertainment Non-profit Organization

Stars for Stripes will provide entertainment to overseas remote bases

Springfield, VA – January 17, 2006 - The SemperComm Foundation, a charitable non-profit organization that was founded to boost the morale of U.S. service members stationed at overseas remote bases, today announced Stars For Stripes as a partner of the foundation, by providing quality, celebrity entertainment into the remote sites where the troops need the moral boost the most.

Stars for Stripes entertainment tours will enhance SemperComm’s solution, a suite of communications and entertainment tools, including internet access to the SemperComm Interactive Communications Site which connects service members with their loved ones back home. Stars for Stripes will provide an avenue for the service members stationed at the overseas remote bases an opportunity to escape for a few hours to relax and enjoy quality, celebrity entertainment. In addition, after every performance, Stars for Stripes guarantees that celebrities who participate in their tours will sign autographs for service members after every show no matter how long the lines might be.

“SemperComm compliments our organization perfectly,” said Judy Seale, President of Stars for Stripes (and Judy Seale International in Nashville), “our missions flatter one another, and both organizations are working towards the same goal; to improve the quality of life and boost morale for our service members stationed overseas at remote bases.”

Through Stars for Stripes celebrity entertainment tours, SemperComm will continue to make a difference in the lives of those who are stationed at remote bases by providing them with sources of entertainment during their downtimes. After all, SemperComm and Stars for Stripes support the service members commitments and honor their service.

“We are very excited about this new endeavor; Stars for Stripes tours have already touched so many lives,” said Lara Coffee, Executive Director of SemperComm, “because of this partnership, we are able to enhance SemperComm’s services.”

Other businesses that are interested in partnering with the SemperComm Foundation or sponsoring the foundation’s annual gala should contact Rachel Froehlich, Development Director, at 703.923.7613 or via email at rfroehlich@sempercomm.org.
