This next week, Key Club will be beginning its first ever Home for Troops fundraiser in honor of this upcoming Veteran's Day.
Homes for Troops, receiving Charity Navigator's highest rating since 2008, is a privately funded, nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted, mortgage-free homes for severely mentally and physically disabled soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Since its founding in 2004, Homes for Troops has built over 190 specially adapted homes nationwide and aims to continue building homes for all veterans who qualify. However, being a privately funded organization, nearly 70% of their funds come from donation, which is where we come into play.
There are three ways you can contribute:
1. Participate in our $1 Dress Down Day on November 9th. Turn in money to Ms. Dosemagen or Bridgette Wright by November 6th.
2. Come chill with us at The Coffee House on Veteran's Day, November 11th. From 4 until 9, a portion of the proceeds will go to our Homes for Troops fundraiser.
3. Make a free will donation to our Homes for Troops fundraiser page: https://fundraise. hfotusa.org/fundraise?fcid= 523625
Please help us achieve our goal of raising $500 during the 2 week interval we have before Veteran's Day.
In addition to this monetary fundraiser, we will also be making cards for veterans during 7th hour prayer and having an assembly on November 11th, Veteran's Day.
Thanks in advance for all of your support.
