$63,000 In Scholarships, Thank YOU!

We want to thank you,

Without your help we would not be able to complete our mission. This year we will be sending out $63,000.00 in scholarships to 113 schools of the Fallen. To date we have $239,550 in scholarships. We want to continue giving these scholarships to all the Fallen Heroes schools across the United States each year. Some people ask when we are going to quit. We are not: until we have given scholarships to every Fallen Hero. I wish you could experience the feelings we get when we have a Gold Star Parent thank us for helping remember their loved one. They traveled from as far as Washington State to be here in memory of their Fallen Heroes. We have met some wonderful people in the past four years. We even have volunteers come from Kansas and Maryland to spend days working to help us make everything perfect.

We would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work. The music by Bootzilla Productions and Blair Carman made the night a hit, not to mention our emcee Tricia Macke and auctioneers Shayne Graham and Courtis Fuller. We would also like to thank the APC Candle Company, Spradlin Welding Co., and Chocolate Blessings for the donations to the Gold Star Parents. Together we can make this happen next year.

Anyone wishing to make donations can make them in the “April 9^th Scholarship” account at Chase Bank, or mail a check to Yellow Ribbon Support Center.

(P.S. Yellow Ribbon Support Center is still sending packages; they can use your donations of snacks and money for postage.) Till they all come home.
