According to the latest Association of Fundraising Professionals' (AFP) Compensation and Benefits Study, the average salary for charitable fundraisers in the United States increased to $72,683 in 2007 and 2008--a two percent increase from the average in 2006.

Secrets to Fundraising Success for Churches and Schools

Secrets to Fundraising Success for Churches and Schools

Free resource for new and experienced fundraising directors alike: GoldenRuleFundraising.com. What makes a fundraising program a "win-win" situation for donors and volunteers alike? Insights and ideas to help fundraising directors of church fund raisers, school fund raisers and other small group fundraisers, to develop broader community-wide appeal, as well as more enthusiasm from volunteers, for greater fundraising success.

(PRWEB) September 14, 2005 -- Richard Bowen has been helping small, non-profit groups with fundraising programs for years. Hes found that most church fund raisers or school fundraisers succeed to whatever extent they do primarily because close supporters, like family and friends, want to help the church or school. But its a lot of work, and sometimes the results dont seem as great as they should be, compared to the effort they take.

"Fundraising is never easy, and for small community groups it seems to be getting harder every year," Bowen says. "If these groups are worth while to the community, then it should be worth while to everyone in the community - not just to family and friends of the church or school – to support their efforts. That is why I created www.GoldenRuleFundraising.com, to offer certain insights and suggestions as to how to appeal to more of the community at large, so as to better succeed at fundraising."

Many groups apparently have a new fundraising director every year because, frankly, its a lot of work and people can get burned out. The new, inexperienced fundraising director will often do the same thing that the previous fundraising director did the last time, "requiring more or less the same efforts to get more or less the same results," Bowen says. With that in mind, he developed www.GoldenRuleFundraising.com, to give fundraising directors some ideas and insights to consider in preparing for their next fund raiser.

"What if you step ‘outside the box with a new perspective on fundraising – what if you give more to donors throughout your community than you ask the donors to give you?!" Bowen asks. That is the essence of what he offers fundraising directors at www.GlodenRuleFundraising.com.

"Secrets of Fundraising Success" are available at www.GoldenRuleFundraising.com at no cost to fundraising directors, new and experienced alike.

Neocleus Raises Over $11M in Series B Financing

Virtualization Pioneer to Invest in Product Development, Sales and Marketing

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (Business Wire EON) June 18, 2008 -- Neocleus, a pioneer in endpoint virtualization, today announced that it has raised $11.4M in Series B funding. Neocleus’ solutions create a more flexible, secure and efficient endpoint infrastructure. The round was led by Battery Ventures and Gemini Israel Funds, the company’s original investors.

Endpoint challenges have grown exponentially as the number of different user scenarios have increased and evolved, introducing new complexities and new IT requirements. Today's IT departments require innovative, flexible solutions to address these emerging challenges and satisfy the multitude of endpoint user scenarios

Neocleus applies virtualization to desktops and laptops delivering the flexibility, manageability and security needed to address different user scenarios within a dynamic, dispersed enterprise. The company’s solutions, which include a Xen-based open source Type 1 bare-metal hypervisor for endpoints, enable critical IT tasks to operate in isolated, trusted virtual environments with complete access to the capabilities offered by the underlying endpoint hardware. This approach provides IT departments with a more agile and predictably secure virtual desktop environment and improves the overall cost of ownership of the endpoint.

“Neocleus is reinventing the endpoint, something that CIOs worldwide have been crying out for,” said Avi Domoshevizki, venture partner, Battery Ventures. “Enterprises today are burdened with rising endpoint support costs and an increasingly complex environment to secure and manage. Current virtualization solutions are insufficient because they either address only one issue or add complexity and cost. Neocleus’ novel approach changes the game to deliver a more agile infrastructure and reduce total cost of ownership of the endpoint. In addition, the company’s open source contributions are a catalyst for a new ecosystem that will further address the challenges facing IT departments. They have made tremendous progress since our initial investment, and we’re happy to continue to fuel their growth.”

Founded in 2006 by industry veterans Ariel Gorfung (CEO) and Etay Bogner (CTO), Neocleus has been working vigorously on developing an endpoint strategy and platform, building a team, rolling out its first solution and attracting customers and partners. The company launched in May 2008 with the announcement of the Desktop Hypervisor Framework, an endpoint hypervisor enhancement to the Xen server hypervisor that the company will be contributing to the open source community to foster an ecosystem of innovation. Most recently Neocleus announced Trusted Edge, the first in a suite of virtual software appliances that allows for secure access to corporate resources – for employees, customers and partners – regardless of the endpoint’s location or state of security.

“Endpoint challenges have grown exponentially as the number of different user scenarios have increased and evolved, introducing new complexities and new IT requirements. Today’s IT departments require innovative, flexible solutions to address these emerging challenges and satisfy the multitude of endpoint user scenarios,” said Mr. Adi Pundak-Mintz, General Partner, Gemini Israel Funds.” Neocleus’ solutions address this burgeoning market with a strong vision, technology innovation, solutions and a proven management team. To date, the company has had extremely positive customer response. We expect that the additional capital will accelerate meeting these customer demands to deliver a groundbreaking solution that fundamentally changes how IT departments manage and secure desktops and laptops.”

”Battery Ventures and Gemini Israeli Funds have been tremendous supporters of Neocleus. Their continued investment demonstrates the commitment to the company vision and their belief that this is an exceptional market opportunity,” said Ariel Gorfung, president, CEO and co-founder, Neocleus. “We are extremely thankful for their continued partnership and the confidence they have in our vision, our strategy and our product expertise.”

Business Wire to Raise Funds for Abused Children by Selling Trading Cards to Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting Attendees

OMAHA, Neb. (Business Wire EON) May 1, 2008 -- Business Wire will go beyond showcasing its own services at this year's Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, raising funds for a local children's charity by selling commemorative trading cards to conference attendees.

CASA volunteers are ordinary people doing extraordinary work. They are a powerful voice in a foster child's life

A pack of six cards featuring quotes and photos of Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and Business Wire President and CEO Cathy Baron Tamraz will be available to attendees. The cards will sell for $10 and also include statistics on Business Wire, which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2006.

All proceeds will be donated to CASA For Douglas County, Nebraska (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a charitable organization that provides a voice for abused and neglected children within the court system through the use of trained citizen volunteers.

“Business Wire is certainly excited about being present again at the Berkshire annual meeting and we look forward to meeting and greeting shareholders and helping out with a worthy cause like CASA,” said Tamraz.

CASA was established in the Omaha area in 1998 upon the urgency of area judges. The idea of CASA first originated in the Seattle area, when a juvenile court judge felt that he was not sufficiently informed on a case involving an abused child. CASA was created under the premise that there must be an advocate for foster children within the court system – someone who will fight and keep the children’s best interests at heart. It is the CASA volunteer that helps judges make good decisions on behalf of the abused and neglected children.

“CASA volunteers are ordinary people doing extraordinary work. They are a powerful voice in a foster child’s life”, said Nancy Wilson, Executive Director of CASA For Douglas County.

The cards are available on a first-come basis at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting, which takes place Saturday, May 3 at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

Recycle to Raise Awareness on World Refugee Day

Tents of Hope & ECO-CELL Partner to Raise Funds for Darfur Via Nationwide Events

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) June 13, 2008 - It's amazing what you can save when you recycle. In honor of World Refugee Day on June 20, 2008, Tents of Hope (http://www.tentsofhope.org) is announcing the launch of its partnership with ECO-CELL to help raise funds for the crisis in Darfur. Integrated with nationwide events on World Refugee Day, improving the life of someone in Darfur is now as simple as donating an old, unused cell phone.

World Refugee Day (June 20, 2008) is a time to remember the plight of refugees around the world and to recognize the contributions of refugees in our communities. On World Refugee Day, Tents of Hope (a one year campaign created to inspire and activate people to respond to the crisis in Darfur, Sudan) will have events taking place nationwide which will include community creation, painting and displaying of tents as symbols of hope to identify with the refugees of Darfur. In participating locales, ECO-CELL recycling bins will be available for cell phone donation. Donations can also be made online by visiting http://www.eco-cell.com/tents-of-hope.asp.

Students Taking Action Now: Darfur

Participating in the ECO-CELL/Tents of Hope cell phone recycling initiative is a truly unique way to help the refugees of Darfur while taking care of the environment at the same time. Simply collect and turn in any old, unused cell phones at a designated ECO-CELL recycling bin. Proceeds will be donated to Tents of Hope and Darfur advocacy groups, the Save Darfur Coalition and STAND (formerly "Students Taking Action Now: Darfur"), a Student Anti-Genocide Coalition made up of over 600 high school and college chapters. Donations can also be made online at http://www.eco-cell.com/tents-of-hope.asp.

According to Dr. Timothy Nonn, founder of the Tents of Hope campaign, "The ECO-CELL/Tents of Hope partnership is so wonderful for us because we are able to give individuals a way to monetarily contribute to the cause in Darfur without actually having to spend any money. Creative activism is what Tents of Hope is about and working with ECO-CELL is a perfect fit. Not only are we helping a worthy cause in Darfur, but we are simultaneously doing something good for the environment."

Lindsey Ronay, Community Relations Director of ECO-CELL comments, "At ECO-CELL we use the statement 'It's amazing what you can save when you recycle.' We are so pleased that this partnership is being announced and launched on World Refugee Day because it demonstrates how we are one global community and how one very small action here at home can improve the lives of people suffering far away. Every phone collected not only keeps toxins out of a landfill but also generates valuable dollars for a cause that needs our help. In this way, we can all be activists."

In addition to recycling on World Refugee Day, Tents of Hope is also encouraging everyone to VOTE for the right of the displaced people of Darfur to safely return home. Vote online at www.tentsofhope.org or visit your local Tents of Hope event to place your vote in the tent ballot boxes. All online votes and ballot boxes will be delivered to the Democratic and Republican conventions. Contact Parveen Kaur at prvnkaur@yahoo.com to find out about local World Refugee Day events and voting locations.

U2 Fans Raise Money to Build Wells in Honor of Bono's Birthday - FINAL DAYS

U2 Fans Raise Money to Build Wells in Honor of Bono's Birthday - FINAL DAYS

The African Well Fund is collecting donations in honor of Bono's Birthday. The money raised will be used to build wells in Africa. The fundraiser is entering its final days!

Schenectady, NY (PRWEB) May 7, 2008 -- For the 6th year in a row, the African Well Fund is conducting a fundraiser in honor of singer/activist Bono's May 10th birthday. Donations collected will be used to build wells in Africa. AWF has been collecting donations in Bono's honor since March 17th and the fundraiser is now entering its final week.

Each year, U2 fans and others inspired by Bono's tireless activism on behalf of Africa come together to raise money to build water and sanitation projects in Africa. Donations from the five previous fundraisers totaled more than $110,000 and have been used to fund water projects in Angola, Uganda and Zimbabwe. These projects have brought clean water and improved sanitation to thousands of people who were lacking it. This year's campaign is themed "Walk to the water…. walk with me" bringing attention to the distances so many in Africa must walk to obtain a day's supply of water. Donations to the fundraiser may be made by visiting http://www.africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2008.html . As in previous years, contributors are invited to sign our online card and leave a birthday wish for Bono after donating. The messages, along with a "Well Share" certificate for the amount donated, will be delivered to Bono at the conclusion of the fundraiser.

Walk to the water…. walk with me

Donations collected during this year's campaign will be used to fund a project in Zimbabwe. AWF works with a partner organization, Africare. Africare is one of the leading private, non-profit, charitable organizations assisting Africa. The proposed project seeks to provide clean water to over 11,000 beneficiaries by rehabilitating 30 boreholes, sinking 7 shallow wells and 2 deep wells. The project will also improve sanitation facilities for over 300 pupils at 3 separate schools. Improved sanitation facilities is a necessary component to improving school attendance especially among female students.

The African Well Fund is a unique organization in that it began when a group of U2 fans, inspired by Bono's activism wanted to do something more to help address problems in Africa. The group became a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2002 and partnered with Africare. Aside from the annual fundraiser in honor of Bono's birthday, AWF works year round to raise money and awareness to bring clean water to Africans. AWF is a grassroots, entirely volunteer-run organization enabling administrative costs to be kept at a minimum. Donations collected by the African Well Fund go directly to Africare to fund water and sanitation projects in Africa.

African Well Fund is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 2002 to focus on one achievable goal: providing access to clean water to everyone in Africa. Working with our partner Africare, AWF has helped to bring clean water to more than 100,000 people in over 100 communities across Africa. The African Well Fund believes that access to water is not merely a basic human need but a basic human right.

Africare is a leading non-profit organization specializing in African aid. It is also the oldest and largest African-American led organization in that field. Since its founding in 1970, Africare has delivered more than $710 million in assistance and support -- over 2,000 projects and millions of beneficiaries --to 36 countries Africa-wide. Africare has its international headquarters in Washington, DC, with field offices currently in some 23 African countries.

Podcast Gives Author a Voice for Koalas

Reaching a wider audience in an effort to raise funds for the Australian Wildlife Hospital.

(PRWEB) May 13, 2008 -- Thanks to author KS Augustin's Web resource, Radio Free Bliss (http://radiofreebliss.ksaugustin.com/), author Lee Barwood is now able to reach a wider audience in her efforts to raise funds for the Australian Wildlife Hospital. SF/F and romance author Augustin's website features a popular podcast page, Radio Free Bliss, for which she interviews authors monthly. Barwood, the highlighted interview for the month of May, is the latest author to join the company of writers whose insights and works are featured.

Listeners can now tune in on iPods or through downloads to hear Barwood talk about her work on Klassic Koalas: Ancient Aboriginal Tales in New Retellings (www.koalajo.com), as well as her other writings, the plight of the environment, and her fascination with koalas. They'll also learn how the Australian Wildlife Hospital, the beneficiary of each sale of Barwood's book, grew from a small avocado packing shed to a size requiring a new, earth-friendly structure. Ground was broken last year and the project is due to be completed this year, with a much larger facility, state-of-the-art equipment, and room to accommodate the ever-growing number of animal patients brought in each day for care to help them survive disease or catastrophic injury.

Augustin, who has spent considerable time in Australia, has some hopeful news for those concerned with the plight of the koala and other natural wonders from Down Under as she points out that those on local committees are pretty savvy about the animals and land they are charged with protecting. She also takes the opportunity during the interview to urge her listeners living in Australia to contact those committees with their concerns on behalf of local wildlife and habitat.

Augustin's program, not subject to the time boundaries of conventional radio or TV interviews, is archived at the site. She also offers a feature called "Bliss Alumni," which offers readers a link to click so that they can sample some of the work of the authors Augustin talks with. Listeners can find not one, but two samples of Barwood's writing on Bliss Alumni now that the link has gone live (as of May 1): a chapter from A Dream of Drowned Hollow and a story from Klassic Koalas: Ancient Aboriginal Tales in New Retellings.

A portion of funds raised from the auction of each painting will be donated to one of the shelters and Rescues that Violano supports through her work.

The artist is asking for submissions of pet photographs from the public to aid in the project. Photos should be taken by the pet owner to be considered for painting. The 31 painting subjects will be selected from the entries submitted. For those wishing to see the finished paintings there is an email signup to preview the release of the day when the project begins in March.

“Because I am not able to complete an animal portrait in a day I am asking for submissions early. This way I will be able to begin painting for this project from December through March” Violano added “I am hoping to have a wide variety of pets to paint from and will accept submissions even if the pet has passed to rainbow bridge- so long as they were loved.”

Photographs can be submitted via Email. Submitting images grants the artist the right to paint from the photograph and reproduce the painted image. For more information please see the artist’s website.

About the Artist: Between painting gallery work and commissions Professional Artist Stella Violano creates paintings using homeless pets as the models. Information about the homeless pet model is featured on the auction of the original painting in order to try and find a home for the pet among the art collectors viewing Violanos popular paintings.

When the painting sells Violano donates a portion of the funds to the rescue or shelter that houses the animal she has painted. The March Portrait Project will again be a tool to raise funds and awareness of the needs of homeless pets.

“I prefer to paint the hard to place pets, the older ones or the ones with disabilities” Violano clarifies “And many of the pets I have painted have found wonderful homes.”

Fund Raising Tip for Non-profits, Charities

The biweekly mortgage service itself is free, and details can be found on the web site at http://www.Mortgage-Manager.info.

Our service is one that has helped many people save thousands of dollars on their mortgages without resorting to methods like refinancing,” says Payne.

MyElectionDecision.org Encourages Political Engagement - Lawrence University Creates Tool to Educate Voters

MyElectionDecision.org Encourages Political Engagement - Lawrence University Creates Tool to Educate Voters

MyElectionDecision.org is a Web site created by Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, to educate college students and the general public about the views of presidential candidates on a variety of issues. By considering the candidates' own statements on the issues, without regard to their appearance, personality, fundraising ability, or the news media's interpretation or bias, MyElectionDecision.org strips away many of the factors that have soured people on the political process.

Appleton, Wis. (PRWEB) October 14, 2007 -- With a historic presidential election on the horizon, Lawrence University has launched a new Web site, designed to help voters, especially college students, try to find which candidate's positions best match their own on a variety of important national issues. Called MyElectionDecision.org, the Web site is a project of Lawrence faculty and staff, in a partnership with researchers from the University of California-Irvine.

Lawrence University President Jill Beck said the creation of the Web site was driven by statistics indicating the lack of political participation among many college students. "This is by no means restricted to Lawrence," Beck said. "It's a concern I share with faculty members and other college and university presidents."

The Web site uses a series of interactive questionnaires to assess the users' ratings on critical issues including Iraq, health care, immigration, the environment, and the economy. Visitors to the site rate which issues are most important to them, take a blind test without knowing which candidate said what, evaluate which issue statements they support, and then, with computer assistance weighing the preferences, find out which candidate most closely supports their views.

By considering the candidates' own statements on the issues, without regard to their appearance, personality, fundraising ability, or the news media's interpretation or bias, MyElectionDecision.org strips away many of the factors that have soured people on the political process.

The site is updated as candidates make new statements or change positions. The views of four Republicans (Giuliani, McCain, Romney, and Thompson) and four Democrats (Clinton, Edwards, Obama, and Richardson) are currently reflected on the site. After the primaries, the site will shift its focus to the two surviving candidates.

The 2008 presidential election will be the first without a presidential or vice-presidential incumbent candidate since 1928, and political analysts have said it has the potential to become one of the most historic elections in U.S. history.

"One of the founding traditions of a liberal arts college is the education and creation of good citizens," Beck said. "When statistics show that only a third of college-educated Americans follow public affairs regularly, and less than two-thirds vote in both national and local elections, it's clear we can do more in that regard. It's my hope that Lawrence University and MyElectionDecision.org will contribute to political awareness, inspire debate on the issues, and create greater voter turnout at a time when it has never been more important."

About Lawrence University
Charting an uncommon course in higher education for more than 160 years, Lawrence University uniquely integrates a college of liberal arts and sciences with a conservatory of music, both devoted exclusively to undergraduate education. It ranks among the nation's best small, private colleges, and was selected for inclusion in the book "Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College." The development of multiple interests and community engagement are central to the Lawrence experience, where classes or creative and research projects tailored to students' educational interests and life objectives are prevalent. Lawrence draws its 1,400 students from 43 states and 50 countries. Its picturesque, residential campus is nestled on the banks of the Fox River in Appleton, Wisconsin.

African Well Fund Announces 5th Annual Bono Birthday Fundraiser

African Well Fund Announces 5th Annual Bono Birthday Fundraiser

For the fifth straight year the African Well Fund is holding a fundraising drive to raise money in honor of Bono's birthday. All donations will be used to fund water projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Schenectady, NY (PRWEB) March 22, 2007 -- The African Well Fund is excited to announce the 5th Annual Build a Well for Bono's Birthday fundraising drive. The fundraiser aims to raise money in honor of Bono's May 10th birthday that will be used by AWF partner Africare to fund water projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. Donations for the drive will be collected from March 22nd to May 11th.

U2 fans and others inspired by Bono's tireless activism on behalf of Africa are invited to make a donation in his honor. Donations from the four previous fundraisers totaled more than $80,000 and were used to fund water projects in Angola, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Donations may be made by visiting www.africanwellfund.org/donate.html. As in previous years, contributors are invited to sign our online card and leave a birthday wish for Bono after donating. The messages, along with a "Well Share" certificate for the amount donated, will be delivered to Bono via Principle Management at the conclusion of the fundraiser.

The Little Red Book of Poe-ee-tree

Once again this year, the birthday fundraiser will be the beneficiary of a special eBay auction--U2 LIVE: Photo Auction for BBW5. Beginning April 14th, U2 fans will have the opportunity to bid on U2 concert photos donated by some very talented U2 fans. Last year's auction raised over $10,000. Visit www.africanwellfund.org for further details. The fundraiser will also be the beneficiary of another fan project, "The Little Red Book of Poe-ee-tree," a collection of poems and short stories written by U2 fans across the globe. All royalties from the book, available at http://stores.lulu.com/littleredbookofpoeeetree, will be donated to AWF.

Two AWF board members traveled to Uganda last September and visited wells that were built with donations from the first two Bono birthday fundraisers. There they saw firsthand the tremendous difference a clean water source can make in a community, even beyond the immediate health benefits. In one village they visited, the well enabled women there to initiate a fruit-drying project as a source of income. They were also able to see the tremendous need that still exists. Your gift will help to change the lives of so many more who are still in need.

The African Well Fund is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 2002 by a group of U2 fans. Since that time, AWF has raised more than $250,000, which has been used to fund more than 80 clean water projects in sub-Saharan Africa. All donations to the African Well Fund go directly to Africare, one of the leading private, non-profit, charitable organizations assisting Africa. The African Well Fund was founded to focus on one achievable goal: providing access to clean water to everyone in Africa. The African Well Fund believes that access to water is not merely a basic human need but a basic human right.

Texas Military Family Foundation Announces Three Recent Grants

Organization gratefully recognizes three recent grants from AT&T, The Triad Funds and The Art for Soldiers Foundation. The money will help the Foundation meet their mission of providing aid and comfort to men and women deployed and serving their country.

As long as our young men and women are called upon to rid our world of the terrorists that threaten us and so many others, it is our duty as Americans to stand up, and live up to being the greatest nation in the world

(PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Texas Military Families Foundation (www.tmff.us) is thrilled to acknowledge three recent grants from a diverse cross section of companies. The organization provides programs and services to men and women in the military, serving the US with bravery and honor.

The Dallas Foundation from the Triad Funds gave $25,000 earmarked to meet soldier's needs in the State of Texas. The Dallas Foundation is Texas' oldest community foundation and acts as a catalyst for philanthropy in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Texas Resources for Iraq Afghanistan Deployment (TRIAD) exists to support current and former military personnel serving in both theatre and their families.

AT&T raised $4,500 and donated a customized 12' trailer to TMFF. The money was raised as part of the second annual AT&T Pioneer Texas Bike Run in September. The trailer will help TMFF travel around the state and organize supply drives.

The Art for Soldiers Foundation gave money which will help TMFF purchase a large, flat screen TV for their media room. The TV is used by soldiers who wish to hook up their video game systems.

"We thank these organizations for sharing their resources, so we can serve our brave fighting men and women," said Julie Curtis-Win, executive director of TMFF.

About Texas Military Families Foundation
Housed on-site at Fort Hood, TMFF's mandate is to provide a comforting place and useful services to military personnel, bravely serving Uncle Sam. Their 24 hr. facility provides soldiers with use of computers, printers, big screen TV's and a kitchen. They also provide a snack and drink at the soldier readiness processing sites, where soldiers spend long hours briefing, making wills, and getting medical and dental clearance to go forward and fight the Global War on Terrorism.

"As long as our young men and women are called upon to rid our world of the terrorists that threaten us and so many others, it is our duty as Americans to stand up, and live up to being the greatest nation in the world," Curtis-Win said,

TMFF relies solely on donations from companies and organizations who wish to help the foundation continue their mission of serving the men and women who serve the United States. From all colors on the political spectrum, people can come together and stand with the honorable young men and women who, only with great personal sacrifice, endure the harsh realities that come with military service, yet serve with valor and distinction. www.tmff.us

Currently, TMFF is looking for funding or in-kind donations for 1,000 turkeys to provide holiday meals to troops and their families. Some may not have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays without TMFF's generosity.
