Wheelers for the Wounded Fundraiser-Northwest Dodg

Still in the making, I will post more details as I get them:


Northwest Dodge-Jeep will host a Wheelers for the Wounded Fund raiser on Sunday November 13. Jim has put up some hug prizes in a raffle, there will be a 4x4 show and shine, a raffle and a lunch. All you have to do is show up....

We will be collecting Donations, and Toys to help support the Wheeler for the Wounded Xmas party at Fort Hood. This year we have about 250 children needing a good xmas. These children are ones who live on base, have one parent in rehab and the other is usually out of work, assisting their soldier with rehab. We all know how hard it can be when a two income family goes down to one. These guys have so many extra costs associated with their rehabilitation, that the kids suffer for it.

We also will be collecting care package items to send to our troops. Save your good magazines, DVDs, and books. These are high on the request list.

We are going to volunteers and lots of participation to pull this off. We have 250+ kids on bases that will not have much of Xmas if we do not succeed in this. They have at least one parent in Rehab and the other is usually assisting that parents so Money is very tight. Let's show them the support they deserve.

Nobody here interested? Lots of prizes and fun. All for a great cause too. 100% of everything will go to the Xmas party for the wounded troops. We will need help with that party as well. This is just one of the many things WFTW does. WFTW is not just about taking soldier riding. Get involved and give back to those who have given so much. Ask me how.

That sounds like a great event. Unfortunately My schedule is already totally full. On a separate note, My daughter turned in her proposal for her National Junior Honor Society service project. She is gonna round up donations for WFTW children's Christmas gifts. I will be in touch once NJHS responds to her proposal. It could happen as early as tomorrow.

We have now been invited to hold monthly event at the base for the injured soldiers. This Xmas event is exploding and has been sent to 3rd. So it will be huge and we need to deliver.

I have donated a Honda ATV and it will be given to one of the soldier at next year main event. things are taking off and we need all the help we can get.

Be sure to tell your daughter to come out to the event and look me up. Bring her freinds and families out for some fun. We need all we can get there. I know schedules get full this time of year but if you can make it or help advertise it, please do. WE really NEED it.

Just a reminder, WFTW is a 501c3 and there is no one on a payroll. Everything we make goes to the troops, everything you give, goes tot he troops.
