Each year for the past three years, we at the non-profit Netroots for the Troops™ have raised money to send hundreds of specially designed Care Packages to U.S. combat troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. These packages have included the practical, such as gloves, gel shoe insoles, socks, sand scarves, powdered energy drinks and LED flashlights, as well as the recreational, such as DVDs, CDs and comic books.
All told, in those three years we have shipped 800 Care Packages to military personnel in two different Brigades of the 3rd Marine Division in cooperation with their Family Readiness Office, and to elements of the 101st Airborne in cooperation with Operation Rakkasans.
This year our goal is 600 Care Packages. That's no small matter. Acquiring the products to go into the packages and shipping them overseas will cost $100,000. To meet that goal, we need your help.
You can assist us, either as an individual or as a corporation. Individuals can make a cash donation to; https://atl.etapestry.com/fundraiser/NetrootsfortheTroops/teamplayer/team.do?participationRef=3721.0.28026204
Corporations can become sponsors either by making a tax-deductible cash donation or by providing a product in multiples of 600 to be included in our Care Packages.
We look forward to working with you.
