OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Country music star Chris Janson will perform at the “Never Give Up on Country” benefit concert supporting the Travis Mills Foundation (TMF), with proceeds helping post-9/11 veterans and their families. The concert, presented by Chase, is scheduled for January 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. at Sheltair Aviation.
Janson, known for hits like “Buy Me a Boat” and “Good Vibes,” expressed his commitment to supporting veterans through this performance. “I’ve always been passionate about giving back to the men and women who’ve served our country,” said Janson. “Partnering with the Travis Mills Foundation is an honor.”
The Foundation, established by retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, provides comprehensive support to veterans through various programs, including:
- Veterans Retreat programs
- Wellness and care initiatives
- Warrior PATHH program for Post-Traumatic Growth
- Support services for veterans’ families

Mills, one of only five quadruple amputees from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to survive his injuries, highlighted the significance of the event. “Chris Janson’s support means the world to us,” said Mills. “His music brings people together, and this concert will allow us to continue expanding our services.”
