Hi everyone
Most of you know that my 19 yr old son left a few weeks ago for boot camp at Parris Island to become a Marine. Of course, I'm the proudest mom on the face of the earth right now. I've taken up a few projects to help support 2nd Battalion Platoon 2081 and help bring some comfort for these future men that will soon be protecting our country. I went to King George Elementary School and spoke with my 5th graders language art teacher about sending 72 letters to the Platoon. She was thrilled to take this on and I can pick all these letters up on Wednesday! Yaaay.
Next on my list is a bake sale that I am having in front of the fish store on October 11th during the Fall Festival. I've had such a wonderful response from my community to help with it. My goal is to raise enough money to send the entire platoon protein bars, another 15 bags of cough drops and moleskins to protect there feet during the crucible.
My final project is holding a raffle to help with the the items I mentioned above, but also I hope to have enough to buy meals for the Marines who graduate that have no family attending for family day or graduation. I know of 11 in my son's platoon that will not have family or loved ones to celebrate with. This is how the raffle works-
1 ticket is $2
3 tickets $5
Grand Prize is $100 KGTropicals gift certificate
2nd Prize $25 KGTropicals gift certificate
3rd Prize $10 KGTropicals gift certificate
If anyone is interested in purchasing a ticket, please email KGTropicals@gmail.com. Drawing will be on October 20th.
