Patriots & Warriors Gala Canceled
Denver, CO - The Sharon K Pacheco Foundation (SKP Foundation) announced today the cancellation of the 2011 Patriots & Warriors Charity Gala, featuring former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, citing safety concerns resulting from an onslaught of negative feedback received by the organization after yesterdays announcement.
Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Governor Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns, says the Foundations Director.
He points out that no direct threats have been made against anyone, but the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America, following the tragic Tucson shooting.
Additionally, we must protect the emotional safety of military families. “Military members and their families have been through a lot due to the wars. We have a responsibility to protect their emotional safety just as well,” says Founder Leo Pacheco. “And unfortunately, some have overshadowed the purpose of this event by concentrating on their personal hatred of Sarah Palin, which is truly sad.”
The organization deeply respects Sarah Palin, and appreciates her willingness to come and honor our military.
The organization plans to host the event at some point in the future, featuring another speaker.

Sarah’s a military mom. Shame on them for turning their back on her.
Well in the olden days of straight talk and no BS, in the Air Force, we’d call Sharon K. Pacheco CS. You old timeers know what that is.
I wouldn’t put $0.02 in Msssssss Pachoco’s coffers for anything, how much is she racking off the “top”?
