Check out that donation total at the top of the page -

Army is once again at the head of the field!

Here are the donation totals so far:

Army Team: $14,004.99

Navy Team: $12,916.00

Marine Team: $10,175.00

Air Force Team: $4,555.00

Outstanding! But Navy shot out in front once; they can do it again, so no rest for us!

And for any of you that might be concerned that the fundraising for Project Valour-IT might be detracting from Soldiers' Angels Holiday efforts:

Fundraising OPORD for the Week
Several people have expressed a concern that we might be distracting people from donating to the Christmas projects that Soldiers' Angels is also heading up. Until I spoke to Patti Bader on Friday, I shared that concern. She firmly and repeatedly told me everything was fine and that SA now had enough funding for the planned Christmas projects (donations to SA in general have been up since the call for Christmas funds went out about two weeks ago). Patti pretty much ordered me (in her inimitable way) to continue the fundraising competition and push to make it as successful as possible.

So, let's follow her orders. Milbloggers, I'll put it in language you can understand... ;)

FUNDRAISING TEAM OPORD: CHARLIE MIKE

OBJECTIVE: $21,000 PER FUNDRAISING TEAM

All phases, sites, and materiel are fully operational. Methods have been refined, sights adjusted, targets acquired.

This one's for your brothers...FIRE FOR EFFECT!

May the best team win. (From Fuzzilicious Thinking via the Project Valour-IT Blog)

So make those donations, put up those blogposts, tack up those flyers, and let's get much-needed funding to this wonderful program. (And let's make sure we secure our Army Team bragging rights!)

Go Army!
