What better way than a raffle. Thanks to Jacob at Sundown he has donated 2 brand new E12 D4 subs shipped to your door(CONUS) for us to raffle off. The raffle will be held on August 18th at our final event where we fulfill our obligation of completing our pushups and run for money raised. The raffle will be filmed and posted to verify that it is fair and others can see what we do to raise money for the Childrens Miracle Network. This is how it works.
Go to http://bigsoldiersforlittlesoldiers.com/ and click on the "donate" tab in the top. That will take you to our donation page that is hosted by the Childrens Miracle Network. There is another link at the top that says "donate to big soldiers for little soldiers". Click on that link and follow the instructions. You can donate with either credit or debit card and all donations are 100% tax deductible. It will ask you for an email address and once your donation goes through it sends you a verification email with your name and the amount donated. Forward that verification email to me at kenneth.bass1@us.army.mil and you are entered into the raffle. Pretty simple. Each entry is $5. For every $5 spent you will receive another entry.
So please go and donate for a great cause. We are raising money for the Childrens Miracle Network and Duke Childrens Hospital for research and to help offset costs for care that kids receive. 100% of each donation goes straight to the hospital and network.
Thanks and hope to get a lot of help. Please spread the word!

I can't tell you how heartbreaking it is walking in and seeing these little kids to sick to move or do anything. It changed my life seeing it first hand and thinking of if my kids were in that situation. So even the smallest things cheer these guys up. I put together a care package thing where we were sending the kids little gifts and Army gear. Awesome to see them cheer up like they did.
I am as broke as I've ever been. I would actually have an easier time coming up with some old equipment than to come up with cash. It seems to be a very worthy cause.
