Greetings!
We're so glad you joined us for this issue of The Care Package Project News!
For those of you that are attending the pack day on Saturday, this issue is just
a reminder of everything you need to know before you come! Again, if you'd like
to volunteer on Friday (tomorrow), please call (573) 449-2003, option 3 and talk
to Travis.
Help! We still need donations of turkey dinners to include in the care packages!
They are now available from our EGA store for $2.00 each with no shipping charges.

We'd also like to share some numbers with you. Since 2005, we are proud to say (and
you should be too!) that we have sent 26,721 care packages overseas and had over
20,000 Marine names in our database.
Thanks again to all for your support and contributions to the Care Package Project!

Join the All-States Challenge!
Compete to Gather Care Package Sponsors in Your State
Instead of holding a shipping fundraiser for the upcoming pack day, we are encouraging
participation in our All-States Challenge, a project that asks each state to gather
sponsors to fund care packages for Marines each month.
We currently have sponsors from 39 states, and together they have reached about
560 sponsored care packages - almost half the number of care packages we ship on
each pack day!
This is an incredible accomplishment, but we'd like to get all 50 states involved!
Texas is currently taking the lead in this challenge at 64 sponsored care packages,
but YOU can help get your state in the running. Encourage your family and friends
to participate too, and watch your state's progress on our website.
