KvM Trivia Reunion / Soldiers’ Angels Fundraiser
Team KvM will be back in full force Thursday to reclaim our tittle from this guy.
If you don’t know what it is, be Keegan’s Irish Pub in Minneapolis at 8:00 PM Thursday night, July 7th. Don’t worry about having a table, since the smokong ban, everyone is in the playpen out back on the patio in the parking lot.
This week’s contest will be a little special. Representatives from Soldiers’ Angels will be on hand to collect donations for their cause.
The Soldiers’ Angels was started by a self-described ‘ordinary mother’ of an ordinary young man turned hero, Corporal Brandon Varn. Brandon was deployed in Iraq and has since honorably completed his mission and has returned back to his proud and loving family and is stationed at Ft. Sill Ok.
In the summer of 2003, he wrote home expressing his concern that some soldiers did not receive any mail or support from home. Being a caring and loving mother, she decided not to allow a situation like that to continue. She contacted a few friends and extended family to ask if they would write to a soldier or two.
Within a few short months, The Soldiers’ Angels Foundation went from a mother writing a few extra letters to an Internet Community of over thousands of angels worldwide and growing stronger with the addition of new members daily. With more and more merchants donating services, money and items for packages, the Angels reorganized as a 501 c 3 non-profit foundation.
Soldiers’ Angels currently supports thousands of American Service Members stationed wherever we raise our Country’s Flag and the number is growing daily. We also work tirelessly supporting our Wounded Soldiers, with transitional backpacks, personal visits, phone calls, etc. Additionally, we send our thanks via letters and email to the military of Great Britain, Poland and Australia who serve by our soldiers side in Iraq.
Soldiers’ Angels are 100 percent volunteer run and dedicated to ensuring that our military know they are loved and supported during and after their deployment into harms way.
A community of Angels volunteer daily to provide aid and comfort to our military and their families. Join the many Soldiers’ Angels to ensure that no soldier goes unloved. If you would like to assist in adopting a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine or know of one who wishes to receive mail and care packages from home.
The Fraters are already pushing the charity part of the night, as they are now deep in a 2 week slump.
I’ll thrown in a challenge to any blogger or mere human:
$5 for every question answered correctly.
- 10 right = $50
- 15 right = $75
- 20 right = $100
And if you are the Fraters like and get 25 right, $125. Not even they get that many right. Hey its for a good cause. I already gave to them, but I’ll put in some more.
Can’t make it, sponsor a blogger with a pledge or go directlt to Soldiers’ Angels and donate directly to them.
Disclaimer- A portion of the night’s drink totals will be donated as well. And between me and the Fraters who are expected to be there, I’m sure the fundraiser will be a success.
