The last 2 days, I have been working hard to get the communication infrastructure up and running for the Hike for Our Heroes volunteer network. After learning that trying to communicate via Facebook is not the most efficient production environment, I worked with Troy Yocum as well as my fellow volunteers Mike, Cheryl, Jean and Melissa to get us all up and running using our email addresses at drumhikevols.com on Google Apps.
Now that we are all setup, we are excited that we are planning a few large events for the drumhike. We will be hosting a benefit concert in Nashville, a benefit concert in Chicago, and the Nationwide Hike for Our Heroes Yard Sale for Military Families in Need. The Yard Sale will take place the weekend of August 6 – 8. All Americans are encouraged to participate by hosting a yard sale, bake sale or other fundraiser and donate the proceeds to Troy’s hike benefiting Soldier’s Angels.
Visit the Facebook event page to learn more!
We are looking for people to organize street wide yard sales for the National Hike For Our Heroes Yard Sale on Aug 6, 7 and/or 8th. If 15% of our followers step up to help and each raise $100 then we will raise over a million for Military Families!!! Mark your calendar and lets get ready to help Military Families in financial need!
Please make checks payable to:
Soldiers’ Angels
1792 East Washington Boulevard
Pasadena, CA 91104Please notate checks to say “Hike” so we will account it to the Financial Aid program.
