Broadway At The Beach Teams With Blue Star Mothers In Great American Summer Nights Celebration
Face Painting, Fire Dancing, Musical Entertainment, Fireworks And More Are A Part Of This Summer's Festivities
June 17, 2019, Myrtle Beach, S.C. — Broadway at the Beach, South Carolina's most visited attraction, is proud to announce the official kick off of summer and its partnership with Blue Star Mothers of America as part of the Great American Summer Nights celebration.
Broadway at the Beach and Blue Star Mothers are partnering this summer to give back to our military in the form of heartfelt words of encouragement and monetary donations.
Blue Star Mothers of America are mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers and female legal guardians who have children serving in the military, guard or reserves, or children who are veterans. These mothers support each other and their children while promoting patriotism. The organization focuses on their mission every single day and vow to never forsake the country's troops, its veterans or the families of its fallen heroes. Currently, there are more than 6,000 members from more than 200 chapters throughout the nation.
"Blue Star Mothers of America is an amazing organization that we knew we wanted to partner with to help those who serve our country," said Melissa Armstrong, director of marketing for Burroughs & Chapin, parent company of Broadway at the Beach. "We know having a family member serving in the military can be trying for any family, so we wanted a way for our guests to show those servicemen and women that we're thinking of them, and we appreciate the sacrifices they and their families make for us."
Guests of Broadway at the Beach are encouraged to write a note of thanks to our troops serving in the military – both domestic and abroad – at the Mail For Our Military corner in the Guest Services Center. Letters, cards and pictures drawn by children will be collected throughout the summer and given to the Blue Star Mothers for inclusion in care packages to the troops.
Broadway at the Beach will also donate the loose change that is tossed all summer long in the three fountains throughout its property, and red, white and blue souvenir bracelets are available in Guest Services Center for a $1 donation, with all proceeds from both initiatives going to the Blue Star Mothers.
During the month of July, Broadway at the Beach will team up with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves to host a Toys for Tots toy drive. Guests can bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Guest Services Cneter throughout the month.
As part of the Great American Summer Nights celebration, Broadway at the Beach has added more patriotic music to the rotation on Radio Broadway, and guests will notice red, white and blue bunting on the center bridge over Lake Broadway.
More than 80 of Broadway at the Beach's merchants offer military discounts. The list of those merchants can be found here: http://www.broadwayatthebeach.com/page/broadway-at-the-beach-salutes-our-military or at Guest Services.
