Each year, the event is broadcast nationally to increase awareness of the continuing struggle faced by Agent Orange victims and to raise funds for their care. Over the past year alone, the organization began construction on nearly 3,000 homes for Agent Orange victims and their families. Until her recent retirement, former Rep. Barbara Lee was among the strongest voices in Congress advocating for justice for Agent Orange victims.
