BROOKINGS, S.D. - June 20, 2013 - At the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention last week Daktronics (Nasdaq - DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., presented a $32,525 check to the Wounded Warrior Project® as part of a sponsorship that included a Salute Concert for veterans.
"For the second consecutive year, NACDA and its affiliate associations have partnered with Daktronics to provide a Convention concert with proceeds benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project®," stated NACDA Executive Director Bob Vecchione. "Daktronics is one of NACDA's longest-tenured sponsors and we look forward to continuing this mutually beneficial programming to our Convention attendees in future years."
The band Funhouse started playing around 8:00 pm on Friday night as convention goers gathered in support our returning troops and to unwind after long day of informational sessions and idea sharing.
In addition to serving as a sponsor of the concert, Daktronics has been a sponsor of the NACDA Convention for more than 20 years and this year provided LED product in the foyer to help with event announcements among other Convention messages.
