Attention Marine families and supporters! WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The Marine Parents outreach program, Purple Heart Family Support, is in the running for a $250,000 Pepsi Refresh Project grant and we need your vote to win the competition!
With the Pepsi Grant, we will be able to turn our 200 meals a year served in 2 hospitals into 20,000 meals served a year in 4 hospitals. There are many great ideas out there, but who could be a more worthy recipient than our Wounded Warriors and their families?
Take one minute a day to vote for our Wounded Warriors!
