We're very proud of the successes of our past campaigns to raise funds for products and/or shipping costs. We want to thank every individual, family, company and organization that donate and work with us to achieve our goal of supporting the troops through The Care Package Project™. Thank you!
Because of YOUR hard work, commitment and contributions, we always meet or exceed our goals. Together, we're supporting the Marines in combat zones by giving them a little something from home.
Donations are accepted throughout the year for shipping funds and "Care Package Sponsor". See the left link under "YOU CAN HELP" then "Click to Donate" for additional information.
We have four campaigns that we run each year and look forward to your continued support. Watch for these icons for the next opportunity to participate in one of the campaigns:
November Fundraising
Operation Bugle Boy was held in honor of Leon Deraps at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Jefferson City, MO in November, 2008. The 550 Veterans that attended donated items for care packages and placed them under a Christmas Tree in Deraps's honor. These contributions will be used to create care packages on the January 3, 2009 Care Package Pack Day at the Marine Parents Headquarters in Columbia, MO.
February Fundraising
Every year the Girl Scout troops in Connecticut donate cookies to the the Care Package Project™. The Brownies and Girl Scouts work hard to make sure our combat deployed Marines are included in this time-honored American tradition and true taste of home. We need your help to raise the $12,000 necessary to ship 1,200 cases of cookies to our Marines!
May Fundraising
May is National Military Appreciation Month. To show your support, buy a pair of the best socks for a Marine from Covert Threads and we'll send them in the care packages in June. "The Marines wear the best; let the terrorists wear the rest!"
Summer Fundraising
Each summer, we find ourselves short on funds to send the care packages overseas to our Marines in August. Our total cost for shipping each August will exceed $10,000. We need your help with the Dollar Campaign! We ask every web site visitor to put a dollar in an envelope and mail it to our corporate office.
October Fundraising
We need your help collecting 1000 hand-written Birthday Cards! Plus we need to raise funds for contents of the "Happy Birthday Marine" Birthday Boxes. We ship in late October or early November each year to arrive in time for the Marine Corps Birthday, November 10.
