OrbiTouch to hold event benefitting wounded veterans

June 2, 2011 - PRLog -- ORLANDO, FLORIDA—Blue Orb, Inc., the makers of orbiTouch Keyless Keyboard and Joystix Pro gaming software, announced they will be holding an event to benefit wounded veterans.  This low-key gathering will be held on June 3 from 6 to 9 PM.  The local community is invited to enjoy drinks and 4Rivers Smokehouse Barbeque.

The event, titled Red, White, and Blue Orb, will be held at Swanson’s Ivanhoe Row, located on beautiful Lake Ivanhoe in Downtown Orlando.  Catered barbeque by local favorite 4Rivers Smokehouse will be provided.  So far, 4Rivers’ award winning beef brisket is on the menu, as is pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and corn.  

Says Director of Social Media Elizabeth Rissman, “We invite the community to come out, have a couple of drinks, and eat some good food for a great cause.  We make a great piece of technology that has the potential to help a lot of people, and supporting wounded veterans by providing the technology they need to effectively transition to civilian life after they come home is a huge deal to us.”

Suggested donation to attend the event is $25, and all proceeds will be donated to the Orlando VA Medical Center.  Veterans, however, are welcomed to attend this event for free.
