COLUMBUS, OH – Operation Meraki, a veteran-led nonprofit dedicated to supporting service members through mental health, employment, and community connection, has announced its inaugural “Harmony for Heroes” fundraising concert. Scheduled for November 1, 2025, the event will feature the All-Star Brass Band of Central Ohio and aims to raise $15,000 to establish a dedicated headquarters for the organization in Central Ohio.

Founder and Executive Director Michael Thomas stated, “This concert is about more than just music—it’s about creating a sustainable future for our veterans. We’re proud to partner with a talented band and community stakeholders to make this dream a reality.”

Proceeds from the event will be split between the band and Operation Meraki’s services, ensuring that both veteran support efforts and the cultural legacy of the All-Star Brass Band benefit. Sponsors and donors will have the opportunity to support a meaningful cause while gaining recognition throughout the concert’s promotional campaign. The evening will feature music, testimonials, and a chance to hear directly from veterans impacted by Operation Meraki’s work.

The Harmony for Heroes event is more than a fundraiser—it’s a call to action for the community to stand united behind those who served.
