Raise funds for military families and wounded warriors and walk with Operation Homefront-Florida in the 2011 Jacksonville Veterans Day Parade on 11-11-11.

Separation, deployments, transition, relocation. Our military families face unique challenges. They serve along with their loved one in uniform and play a vital role in maintaining a strong military force. Our military families are America’s heroes.

Last year, Operation Homefront-Florida experienced a 300% increase in requests for emergency assistance. Join the 2011 HERO Campaign and Rucksack Walk and raise funds to help meet the increasing need and assure funds are available to support our service members and wounded warriors as they return home.

The culmination of the 3 month HERO Campaign will be a rucksack walk where participants will don an optional military rucksack or backpack and symbolically help carry the burdens of our military families.

Need ideas to help reach your fundraising goal? Here are some fun ways to raise support!

 
 

Do a car wash and accept donations for each wash!

Hold a yard sale with proceeds to support your goal!  Don't forget to put out a donation bucket!

Bake Sales!

Have a party and collect donations, do a 50/50 raffle or auction off prizes or services!

Ask your office if you can do a "casual dress day" with proceeds towards your team or individual goal.

Ask your office if they do a charity match.  They may be able to double your contribution!
