Stretching the Dollar

Each year SKIP searches for new ideas to raise the funds necessary to ship care packages to deployed US military members. This year, despite knowing that money is tight across the nation, we still need to raise the funds. How much money do we need? Well, let's talk about this for a minute.

In 2008 more than $14,000 of wonderful contributions were spent at the Post Office to cover shipping costs for the care packages. By the end of 2009, with an increase in postage rates and hopefully an increase in the number of military members supported by SKIP, we expect those costs to increase to roughly $16,000. Postage for the care packages is, without question, the highest cost this organization incurs every year. And it's one expense that we can't cut back in 2009.

Total cost to you: $1 or $1.42 if you mail it in.

What you can expect: Every dollar raised through this campaign will be used specifically to help SKIP continue the mission. Your $1 will be used to extend America's support to the men and women deployed overseas. Your dollar will make a difference.
