Project Valour-IT Fundraising Competition
- Posted by Beth on October 28th, 2005 filed in General, Support the Troops
From Fuzzilicious Thinking (via Soldiers’ Angel Holly Aho:)
WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: November 2nd through Veterans Day (the 11th).
WHERE: Based in the blogosphere, spreading everywhere else.
WHY: Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
HOW: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches, with civilians “up for grabs.”
Prospective team leaders were approached yesterday (waiting for replies). When the leadership is announced, you will have the opportunity to join the team of your choice.Additional information: every donor during this time will receive a Soldiers’ Angels Coin. We are also working on providing T-shirts for larger donations.
Since there was no Marine Corps team, Holly Aho will be running the Marine team, and I’ll be helping her! OORAH! (This one’s for you guys in MACG-28 HQs!)
If you are a blogger:

You can also help by spreading the word with flyers and word of mouth.Starting November 2nd donate to Project Valour-IT to help us win the competition. Tell everyone you know about the competition. Details on how to do just that will be provided in the next day or so.
Everyone - Spread the word!!!!
