The 2007 Annual Valour-IT Fund Raiser totals are coming in, however not all checks are yet accounted for and could change the outcome. (There's hope yet for the Air Force team ;~) )
Army: $53,023.00
Marines: $39,673.00
Air Force: $26,322.00
Navy/CG: $20,081.75
And non-team donations $29,954.82
Congratulations to the Army Team, for a job well done. Marines were given a fighting chance at the lead, for a few days, but were trampled in the end. Congrats to the Air Force for not placing last place for the first time in the three years of competition. And Navy it was a close battle but no cigar.
The Valour-IT Auction was also a huge success, thanks to the many who donated items. I'd like to give a special thanks to those that donated to the Team Air Force auction. We may not have won the overall team competition but we took the lead in the auction. Starting off with John Cox of Cox & Forkum whose personal caricature brought in a whopping final bid of $1,011.00 followed by Chris Muir's print that brought in $1,000.00. Many thanks to all the auction bidders as well, John Of Argghhh! who set the bar on these two auctions (yes he's on Army team but we love him anyway :~) ) and to Mr Coombs who won both auctions (Believe it or not, he's also Army, Hooah!) . Congratulations and thank you for your generous donation. Thanks Zonker for setting this up with Mr Cox.
We had other successful auctions, The Lemon Stand donated the extraordinary quilt Gone But Not Forgotten.” and other great items, her donated items brought in a total of $627.34. Laurie from Soldiers Angels New York also brought in over $150.00. To anyone I may have missed, please accept my apologies, I don't have the list of all the auctioneers since the auction site has been emptied of all completed auctions, but thank you for donating your items. And I must include a huge thank you to all the auction bidders for all the team auctions.
I predict once the checks come in and get processed we will come close to the $240,000 goal we projected. According to the Valour-IT donation site we have already surpassed the $200,000.00 mark.
Although the competition is over, you may still donate to Soldiers' Angels Valour-IT Project
I want to personally congratulate my fellow Air Force team members for their remarkable fundraising efforts and thank them for a job well done. I hope Team Air Force can count on you next year.
