Funko Sponsors USO Northwest Seats of Honor Program

Funko Inc. celebrates Flag Day with the launch of its Seats of Honor sponsorship. The monthly program, in partnership with USO Northwest and The Historic Everett Theatre, will recognize and honor members of the military with a show and exclusive experience.

“It’s an absolute honor to be able to provide active military members of our community with a memorable evening in our great city of Everett, Washington,” says Brian Mariotti, CEO at Funko. “We are thrilled to do our part in thanking these brave young men and women for the sacrifice they have made to both our community and country.”

“Support from partners like Funko allow us to provide these families with some much needed and deserved R&R,” says Curtis Shriner, manager of The Historic Everett Theatre.

A monthly drawing we be held, in which one local active-duty military member will be chosen to receive dinner and non-alcoholic beverages, a gift certificate to use at Funko’s retail headquarters, and two free tickets to live performances at The Everett Historic Theatre. Interested active-duty members of the military are welcome to enter the drawing through the theatre website.

The USO Military Seats of Honor program is also offered at Bremerton’s Admiral Theatre.
