Update ~ August 17, 2009

We launched the Dollar Campaign to raise money for The Care Package Project in May and we set the largest goal ever set for this program: $20,000.

By August 15th, Marine families and supporters from across the nation collectively donated $20,026.92!

Thanks to YOUR support, 1,000 care packages were sent to Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan on August 15th!

On behalf of numerous men and women defending our freedom overseas, thank YOU for making The Care Package Project possible! The post office has raised the prices for shipping flat rate boxes to $10.35 which increases our costs for shipping 1100 packages every 10 weeks significantly. Each summer, we find ourselves short on funds to send the care packages overseas to our Marines in June and August. We need your help today!

Our June packing date is scheduled for June 6, 2009 and the August packing date is August 15, 2009. We're asking every web site visitor to send a $1 bill to MarineParents.com to help us raise the funds needed to ship 2000 care packages to our Marines. Put a dollar bill in an envelope and mail it to the post office box below. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the packing date of Saturday, August 15, 2009.

Please help us fund the Care Package Project and send your $1 donation today. Check back frequently to see how we're progressing! Thank you for your support of our Marines and the Care Package Project!
