Andy Foundation Supports Troops

Pictured above are some of the Andy Foundation kids with their packages and Janice Meyers, the mom of Captain Meyers, one of our marines overseas who will receive one of the Andy Foundation care packages. Kids representing The Andy Foundation took the 2004 homecoming street fair by storm. Dozens of kids were out in force selling Andy Foundation products including T-shirts, footballs and cookbooks in an effort to raise money to put together care packages for our troops in Iraq. All proceeds from the day went towards buying supplies. The kids were able to fill 40 boxes to send to our brave soldiers!

The care packages also included notes of encouragement from the children of Stratford School. A special thanks to Mrs. Dowden who coordinated the effort at Stratford School. Additional thanks goes to Emily and Jack Spencer, who hosted the very lively packing party.
