That little box above reflects the results of the Valour-IT fundraiser as of this morning. The overall goal of $180,000.00 was handily met...and that's a wonderful thing. When it comes to the teams, you can see the Marines took first place with an 11th hour surge that took them past—way past—the Navy. Alas, our team brought up the rear. As it is in sports, all I can say is “wait until next year!” There’s a lot of activity going on in the background, and the “lessons learned” will be archived and applied to our efforts in next year’s fund raiser.
The real winners in this fund drive are the injured troops who will receive voice-activated laptops from the Valour-IT project. In the aggregate, the donations you made will buy approximately 280 laptops. That’s a lot of love and support.
Thank you.
Don't forget, the final FINAL total will be later this week, after the checks have been sorted and the ones designated to the teams have been added in. And the total donations that were not designated for the teams. This is just the blogger total of paypal donations.
