A Million Acts of Kindness
The USO of Metropolitan New York (“USO”) is seeking fundraisers for the “A Million Acts of Kindness” campaign, which will raise one million dollars through individual giving. A Million Acts of Kindness will provide the necessary resources to deliver more than 20,000 USO Packs – Gifts from Home which will include personalized messages from individuals in the United States. The USO Packs will be sent to our troops serving in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2008, 1,700 members of the New York Army National Guard are being deployed. In March of 2008, the largest deployment of troops (3,200) since World War II are deploying from New Jersey. Funds raised from A Million Acts of Kindness provide morale and personal welfare services to active duty military and their families.
The USO is looking for your commitment to raise $1,000. Ask friends, rally family, excite your neighbors and motivate your co-workers to support the troops and help meet your goal of $1,000.
