Netroots For The Troops™

NETROOTS NATION 2011

TEAM UP FOR THE TROOPS!

Each year for the past three years, we at the non-profit project 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 donations and recruit friends, neighbors, family and coworkers to support our cause. 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.

Our project will culminate in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Netroots Nation 2011 on June 16 - 19th, 2011.  There, we will gather to assemble, pack, and ship the Care Packages.   We are very excited and look forward to exceeding everyone's expectations this year!  DONATE NOW and join us in Minneapolis to pack a box!
