Philadelphia, October 15, 2010- Today, Mayor Michael A. Nutter and Mayor Gavin Newsom announced a National League Championship Series bet serving their respective veterans communities.

"I'd be honored to volunteer with our city's courageous veterans on Veterans Day," said Mayor Nutter. "Philadelphians have a longstanding commitment to service, and I look forward to volunteering at Impact Services. I will proudly wear my Phillies hat while Mayor Newsom also wears one in San Francisco."

Impact Services' veterans facility located 124 E. Indiana Avenue serves homeless veterans and veterans who are managing mental illness.
