The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund has announced proceeds of donations from the issuance of movie tickets in Atlantic have been donated to wounded warriors. Fund spokesperson Melanie Petty says they worked to help bring “The Hornet’s Nest” movie to the Atlantic Theatre for a week in June.

200 tickets were purchased by the Fund with most of them given away to veterans. Other tickets were given away to the public with a suggested donation to The Wounded Warriors Project (http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/).
