A Night With Special Meaning
McCollum is a longtime advocate for the military community, so this Veterans Day concert means a lot to him. As the new face of UA Freedom, Under Armour’s platform and product line that supports military members, veterans, first responders and their families, he is continuing his commitment to honor those who have dedicated their lives in service of this country.
“Playing for the men and women who have served this country is one of the greatest honors I get as an artist,” said McCollum. “So bringing this Veterans Day concert to life with Under Armour, which does so much for veterans and first responders, and getting to do it back home in Texas, is incredibly special. I’m very proud to represent UA Freedom and be a part of giving back to the people who have given so much for all of us.”
Giving Back Through UA Freedom
McCollum and Under Armour are working together to strengthen the impact of UA Freedom and the organizations it supports. Those include the Travis Manion Foundation, Team Rubicon, The Warrior Games and Shepherd’s Men. The UA Freedom collection helps these partners keep creating opportunities for veterans and first responders to lead, serve and make an impact long after active duty. The performance celebrates the work of UA Freedom and its partners and champions the people and families they support.
