Woodruff was nearly killed during a 2006 attack in Iraq while embedded with U.S. troops for ABC News.
“Stand Up for Heroes will shine a light on the incredible service and sacrifice of our veterans, service members, and their families, and raise important funds to support the men and women who have had our back and who now need us to have theirs,” Woodruff said in a statement. Tickets for Stand Up for Heroes go on sale Wednesday through bobwoodrufffoundation.org and the Lincoln Center box office.
