Army Victory
[Contributed for Valour-IT by the most excellent Cox and Forkum]
The 2007 Annual Valour-IT Fund Raiser totals are coming in...however, mailed checks are not yet accounted for and could tip the scales. To date, the totals are:
Army: $53,023.00
Marines: $39,673.00
Air Force: $25,638.34
Navy/CG: $20,081.75
And non-team donations $29,954.82
And, as we're waiting for the checks to come in and get processed we will probably surpass $200,000 this year in donations.
And so, if you supported the Army with a donation of $500 or more, and would like a private (all adult beverages paid) Blackfive Tour of Chicago's Irish Pubs, send me a receipt and we'll work out the details.
The Army team had twice the number of donors as any other team.
So, to say that I'm grateful to be a part of this effort is a bit understated. Thank you.
Update: And the three soldiers in this USAToday article are Valour-IT recipients.
And, THANK YOU, to the Army team. Please, visit their fine blogs:
