Jr Raiders MyThankYouCoins Campaign

and Gold Star Family Thank You Ceremony

We would like to thank all of you for the tremendous support of our MyThankYouCoins campaign for the American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation held October 6, 2012. Through your efforts our goal of $1000 was not only met but was surpassed with a total of $1333.63 to go toward the building of the Gold Star Wall. We were touched by the donations, including the arcade tokens and play money that the kids dug out of their piggy banks. Thank you for taking the time to share the videos that were sent out and for speaking to your children about the sacrifices that are being made for them. Several of the kids talked about the chats they had with you and they really made an impact. The families that were honored on Saturday expressed such gratitude for the day and for the happy atmosphere that surrounded them. They wanted us to pass along their sincere thanks for honoring their fallen heroes and teaching your children about them. We hope the day was as rewarding for each of you as it was for all of us.   We will NEVER FORGET
