Elementary School Kids Show their Support
G.I. Go Carepackages Reach Soldiers Abroad and Kids with Cancer
The love and appreciation for our troops was in full force yesterday as
children from Camden and Perth Amboy elementary schools took time
from their educational duties to provide dozens of thank you letters to
troops serving in the war.
The letters will be distributed to soldiers throughout Iraq and Afghanistan.
They will be sent along with the care-packages the organization sends to
the region to help our men and women reconnect with home.
G.I. GO believes that letters from children is a great way to show our
soldiers how much we here at home care for them and their well-being,
which is an important aspect in transition assistance.
The G.I. GO Fund, a non-profit organization supporting the troops, celebrated Valentine’s Day by
delivering goods to our G.I.s’, and smiles to kids with cancer.
The organization sent care packages to troops stationed in Iraq during the holidays, with each care
package including products from Imus Ranch Foods. Proceeds from the products will benefit the Imus
Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer, a working cattle ranch founded by Don and Deidre Imus promoting
health and good times for kids with cancer and SIDS.
“The Imus Ranch has shown kids with cancer all over the country
how to enjoy their lives while being afflicted with this terrible
disease,” said G.I. GO President Jack Fanous. “It is our duty as
Americans to do all that we can for our fellow countrymen,
especially in this time of uncertainty. With that in mind, we felt that
this was a unique opportunity to help both children with cancer here
at home and our courageous troops abroad.”
