Operation Comfort Warriors/Pepsi Grant
The American Legion family has raised more
than $300,000 to purchase comfort items for U.S. troops recovering in
hospitals and warrior transition units around the globe. Now we have the
opportunity to nearly double what was raised.
Pepsi Cola is offering a
$250,000 grant to the top two charities (based on votes) as part of its
Pepsi Refresh project. There are 729 charities competing and as of Feb. 1,
Operation Comfort Warriors is 21st in votes. There is no time to
lose--the voting period ends on February 28, 2010.
All overhead and administrative costs for
Operation Comfort Warriors is paid for by The American Legion, meaning 100
percent of donations go toward helping the troops. If OCW were to
receive the Pepsi grant, that money would also go entirely to the troops.
Please go to
http://refresheverything.com/operationcomfortwarriors
and vote. Just as importantly, use your post and department newspapers,
facebook pages, web sites, twitter and all other tools at your disposal to
encourage others to vote for this great cause.
The
http://refresheverything.com grant
can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of our disabled troops. Log
in and vote now, and share this email with all your friends and co-workers.
If you have any questions about Operation
Comfort Warriors, please feel free to call Communications Director John
Raughter at (317) 630-1350, or visit
