Jonathan Spinks is currently the CEO of OSU
Tour
Faith-Based Military Live Entertainment
OSU Tour is a Non-Profit 501(c) 3 organization that works
closely with the Pentagon and is an official member of
America Supports You, a nationwide Department of Defense
program. OSU Tour is dedicated to helping our armed forces with
the common issues our brave men and women face, including
troubled marriages, anger and depression, raising children
today, assistance for addictions, and aid in dealing with PTSD-Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder. OSU Tour has many components, one of
which provides “live entertainment” for US troops on location in
military bases all over the world. Performances feature
HOLLYWOOD Actors, NFL Superbowl Stars, NASCAR, NFL Cheerleaders,
NBA Players, World Champion Boxers, UFC Fighters and much more
including the Flying Wallenda’s high wire circus act,
ventriloquist David Pendleton, comedians, top musical artists
and concerts. Each show finishes with a message to increase (MWR)
morale and welfare. Our message is directed toward giving
encouragement that results in a stronger soldier resulting in
stronger families back home.

Children of Fallen Soldiers
Another one of OSU Tour's most important components is
facilitating a mentoring program which provides lasting, quality
mentorship through hunting, fishing, sailing, hiking, etc., to
military children who have lost a parent as a result of war. In
these programs we also utilize our relationships with
professional athletes and hold “sports clinics” for the
children. Included in our outreach efforts are children of
police officers or firefighters who have also lost a parent
through public service. To enable a higher rate of success, OSU
Tour has teamed together with “Got Your Back Network” in a
strategic alliance to better accomplish a common goal. Executive
Director, Kathleen Gagg and the founder of Got Your Back Network
, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin, M.D., who is a nationally
recognized contestant from the TV Show “The Bachelor" want to
let every military family who has suffered the ultimate loss to
know that they're not alone. “We are working together to heal the hearts of children
(and military widows) who have experienced the death of their
hero, daddy,” says CEO Jonathan Spinks. |
