Musicnotes.com: To donate $1 per patriotic download to Honor Flight

MADISON, WI – May 26, 2011 – Musicnotes.com, the worldwide leader in downloadable sheet music, announced today that it is donating $1.00 per download of patriotic music to the Honor Flight program honoring our nation’s veterans. The promotion began on May 20 and will run through July 4. Memorial Day through the 4th of July represent Musicnotes’ peak selling season for patriotic sheet music.

Honor Flight Network http://www.honorflight.org/ is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. Honor Flight programs around the country transport veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. Time is of the essence, as an estimated 1,000 WW II vets die each day.

“Musicnotes is honored and humbled to support our nation’s heroes through the Honor Flight program” stated Musicnotes Chairman Tim Reiland. “I’ve seen what Honor Flight means to our vets and their families – it is a powerful and moving experience for all involved.”

Musicnotes expects to contribute many thousands of dollars to Honor Flight, with proceeds shared between Badger Honor Flight in Madison, WI where Musicnotes is headquartered, and Stars and Stripes Honor Flight in Milwaukee, WI. Musicnotes will also encourage its 120,000+ daily visitors to contribute, providing a link to the national Honor Flight site where people can indicate a specific Honor Flight program to support if they wish http://www.honorflight.org/donate/index.cfm

Musicnotes will sell hundreds of patriotic sheet music each day during the Memorial Day through July 4th timeframe. Top selling patriotic titles include ”God Bless America,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Yankee Doodle” and many others including Musicnotes’ own choral arrangement “The Armed Forces Medley” http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0074124& .
