"I served in the military and understand the sacrifices made by these brave men and women and the impact their service has on their families," said Todd Shepherd, founder of Toast to the Troops. "I was moved when I saw 'Brothers At War' to produce this inaugural event to give Americans a chance to meet and thank the troops and give our Armed Services members a night of fun with family and friends."

"We want to thank Todd and the sponsors that made this event possible," said David Marshall Pryce, Managing Partner of Phoenix VIP Events. "We encourage everyone to come out and thank the troops and enjoy a great evening."
