Project Valour-IT Fundraising Efforts

**** This Post Will Be Kept Above The Fold For Duration of Campaign - which ends November 10, 2006 ****

Once again, I am going to be raising money for Project Valour IT, which in effect helps serve those who have served and given their all to defend our nation.

They've had our backs. Now, it's time to have theirs. I came across Project Valour IT a while back, and thought it was so worthwhile, that I permalinked to them on my sidebar. Soldiers' Angel provides voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at major military medical centers.

This particular effort is a friendly competition between the various branches of the US Armed Forces. While the US Marines is the smallest of the four branches, they are at the tip of the spear. Cassandra at Villainous Company is running the Marine campaign, and anyone who donates through my blog will be able to contribute to the Marine campaign effort.

There are three other teams competing so far:
Army – Led by blogger BlackFive
Air Force – Led by OpFor
Navy – Led by Chaotic Synaptic Activity.

You can donate through the link in the sidebar, which will remain posted for the duration.

Goal: The goal of the Project Valour-IT fundraiser is to raise enough money for new laptops with voice activated software for our wounded soldiers with hand and/or arm injuries. The goal this year is for each branch to raise $45,000.

How: Donate online with Paypal or send in a payment to:
