Will you click the button below and vote for Soldiers' Angels?This annual award ceremony is presented by the Academy of United States Veterans. Earlier this year, Soldiers' Angels President and CEO, Amy Palmer, received the Leadership Award at the 6th Annual Vettys.You made magic happen for three caregivers.Last week we held a special contest for caregivers supported by the Soliders' Angels Women of Valor Team— they submitted their stories for a chance to win two roundtrip Jet Blue plane tickets to anywhere Jet Bule flies. Once we narrowed it down to three finalists, we had hoped we could choose a winner... but the stories these women told were all so compelling, we asked for your help to select the winner. What happened next was pretty amazing... we heard from so many individuals who wanted to help! Supporters who wanted to donate money to buy all three caregivers plane tickets, supporters who wanted to help raise funds to provide the tickets, and even some supporters who were ready and willing to give up their own holiday travel tickets in order for these women to receive them. Our email about these caregivers didn't just touch individuals, it also inspired supporting corporations. Shortly after we sent the email, SRE, Inc. reached out to Soldiers' Angels and offered to make a financial donation that would cover the cost of purchasing four additional round-trip plane tickets so that all 3 caregivers could win! Thank you to SRE, Inc. and to all of our supporters who helped to make magic happen for the three caregivers! It was truly inspiring to see such an outpouring of support! If you're interested in supporting caregivers, we are still in need of additional volunteers to support caregivers currently on a waitlist.
