Update and bump. For those who may have missed this post originally, it is being bumped in hopes that throughout the weekend more individuals will find it in their heart to donate even a dollar to Project Valour-IT.

Folks, please use the link on the sidebar (or the one attached to this post), to donate to this very worthy cause. The members of the United States Military have never let us down and a small donation will go a long way toward assisting a wounded member in their quest towards a normal life.

Thanks again for your help and remember, for the price of a cup of coffee we can truly make a difference in the life of a man or woman who has served this country well.

End Update

There is a new link on the sidebar which applies to Project Valour-IT. Below is an overview of exactly what this fundraiser hopes to accomplish on behalf of wounded members of the US military.

Every cent raised for Project Valour-IT goes directly to the purchase and shipment of laptops for severely wounded service members. As of October 2007, Valour-IT has distributed over 1500 laptops to severely wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines across the country.

Valour-IT accepts donations in any amount to support the purchase and distribution of laptops, but also offers a sponsorship option. An individual or organization may sponsor a wounded soldier by completely funding the cost of a laptop and continuing to provide that soldier with personal support and encouragement throughout recovery. This has proved to be an excellent project for churches, groups of coworkers or friends, and members of community organizations such Boy Scouts.

If you can donate even a dollar to this worthy cause, please do so. All donations are tax deductable and if you are more comfortable with another means of contributing, various methods are detailed here.

Remember, 100% of what you donate goes to the purchase of these laptops. There is no administrative cost and no other overhead.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Update: The graph below shows a running update for the “Army Team” in dollars raised. If you would like to view the totals for the Marines, Navy and Air Force, you may do so here.
