Heroes Waiting
for Adoption
Calling All Facebook Friends!
Are you on Facebook? You can help Soldiers' Angels win up to $50,000 in America's Giving Challenge!
All you have to do is donate as little as $1 a day—the goal is to get the highest number of unique donations, not necessarily the highest total.
National Communication Officer Shelle Michaels explains:
To win, between now and November 7th we have to get the most donations to our cause (every person can donate once per day and have it count as a unique donation). We can also win daily awards of $1,000 and $500 if we can get the most people to donate in any 24-hour period. The great thing about this Challenge is that it doesn't matter how much you give, but instead how much you do to encourage friends and family to get involved in our cause. We all need to come together and start promoting the cause if we want to win.
Each of us has tons of friends on Facebook and we can ask to donate to our cause. But let's think big too—can you put our cause in your email signature, can you throw a party and get people to donate through the cause when they enter, can you organize other people to go out and fundraise from all of their friends? As you reach out to your friends be sure to tell them why this cause matters to you. The possibilities are endless so let's talk about what we can do to win on the Wall of the cause or by replying to this bulletin.
I think we can do it! But it's going to take all of us. Check out the Giving Challenge, then visit our cause to see how we're doing so far and get involved.
Donate right now, and let's win $50,000 for our cause!

Jessica Scheu, Miss Teen Minnesota International 2009, is a Soldiers' Angel. Since being crowned Miss Teen Minnesota International this year, a position she will hang onto until March 6, the 17-year-old has been promoting her platform – Soldier’s Angels – and its message: “May no soldier go unloved.” In her work with Soldier’s Angels, Scheu adopted a soldier who she corresponds with by writing letters and sending care packages. She also participates in the Ladies of Liberty program, which supports women soldiers during deployment, and the Warriors to Citizens military program based in Farmington. |
