RACINE, Wis., July 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CASE
Construction Equipment will host "Labor of Love" 2016 on
Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 5, 2016), featuring headliner and
award winning country music star Chris Young. Proceeds from the
concert will benefit Team Rubicon, a disaster response organization
comprised of more than 36,000 veterans and first responders, with
the goal of helping the organization expand its skills training
programs.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at
www.ticketmaster.com/laboroflove. Doors open at 11:30 AM and Chris
Young takes the stage at 2:30
PM. The concert event, taking place at Racine Festival Park
in Racine, Wisconsin (5 5th St,
Racine, WI 53403), will also
feature local food vendors, and a silent auction will further
benefit Team Rubicon.
The partnership with CASE and Team Rubicon is a natural one for
Young – his father works in construction and multiple family
members, including his younger sister, are either in the Marines or
are US military veterans.
"I appreciate the CASE commitment to helping veterans fill the
skills gap through Team Rubicon's focus on training and
development," says Young. "I'm glad to support the important work
they do in not only giving veterans the opportunity to improve job
skills but also serve the community."
"Labor of Love" launched in 2015 with the goal of connecting
veterans with jobs and training in the skilled trades. The concert
raised $10,000 for Wounded Warrior
Project in 2015.
"We launched Labor of Love last year to build a bridge between
job-seeking veterans and a critical shortage of qualified equipment
operators and technicians," says Scott
Harris, vice president – North
America, CASE Construction Equipment. "This year, we've
worked with Team Rubicon on their operator training program by
providing equipment and support. It's a natural progression of our
relationship and we're excited to work with TR and Chris Young to further this initiative."
CASE will also be raising funds for Team Rubicon through an
online fundraiser. To donate and show support for "Labor of Love"
