TY INC MAKES GENEROUS DONATION-SHIPPING HELP NEEDED!

Postby Donna » Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:08 pm

We are very excited to say we have received a very generous donation from TY INC the original "beanie baby" maker. This donation will make a tremendous difference in what our troops will be able to accomplish in all their humanitarian missions.

Our troops are anxious to receive these beanies and we want to ship them as soon as possible. We need your help to make this happen. We are asking individuals as well as businesses to step up and sponsor mailing a half a box, a whole box or a pallet. All donations will be used exclusively for shipping these donated boxes. A 25.00 donation will mail one box.

You can make a safe donation on our home page through paypal or you can send your check or money order to:

Beanies for Baghdad INC
Attn: Donna Ward
6401 Lincoln Avenue
Evansville, IN
47715

The boxes will be arriving at the Indiana National Guard Armory were they will be secured until we have shipping to start mailing them. The Indiana National Guard soldiers will be assisting Beanies for Baghdad with the project.

Thanks in advance for any and all donations. Our B4B supporters have always made things happen in the past and we look forward to what we can do in the future.

If anyone has any questions you can ask here on the forum or email at info@beaniesforbaghdad.com and will be glad to assist you. We will keep you updated on our progress.

Our military stands up for us, what a great way for you to stand up for them. :)

It's an all out BLITZ to get as much money raised as soon as possible. We most likely would have lost this deal if not for the generous assistance of the Indiana National Guard allowing us to temporarily store them until we can raise the 33,100.00 necessary to get them all shipped downrange.

Generate as much discussion as you can amongst your facebook and twitter friends...get them to donate anything they can.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
