A public service announcement on behalf of the Green Beret Foundation.

$2,125 Raised $10,000 Goal 23 Donors as of the time of this email !

Info from the web site below.

The Green Beret Foundation serves the U.S. Army Special Forces, our nation’s most elite soldiers, by connecting them with the resources they need to succeed in the mission ahead.

We believe Green Berets are our nation’s greatest assets. Every day, we honor our commitment to Green Berets past and present, as well as their families, by connecting them with the right resources to prosper and thrive. When these soldiers—these powerful assets—meet powerful opportunities, our nation’s most elite soldiers become our nation’s best leaders.

A Green Beret’s family is his first and most important support, and so it’s critical that the Green Beret Foundation provides advocacy and services to meet the entire family’s needs. With our assistance, a Green Beret and his family are able to get the most from his military benefits and access every proven therapy or opportunity available so that he can live a life of health and wellness.

Stand with us and join our nation’s most elite soldiers as we prepare for the mission ahead.

Would one of the QP's here please verify the authenticity of the link? I don't understand why there is a fund raising page that is not the one that is on the Green Beret Foundation's website. I don't mind donating but I do mind if the money is not going where it is intended.

Progress: 49% - $4,930 Raised - $10,000 Goal - 59 Donors

I received an email early today from these folks...

fundraise@greenberetfoundation.org

...with the link.

Here is a link to email.

I gave - I'm sure someone can verify org and campaign or not - thank you.

Hope this helps.

P.S. (no pun intended) I put in a call to the GBF in attempt to obtain confirmation.

From the GBF web page:

TODAY'S the BIG day! The Big Give SA is a 24-hr day of online giving. In 2016 we invested over $1.7 million in support of 1,397 Green Beret families! Stand with us and join our nation’s most elite soldiers as we prepare for the mission ahead. Donate TODAY: http://www.thebiggivesa.org/organiza...ret-foundation #BigGive2017

And, I received a call minutes ago from GBF confirming this campaign.

Hope this helps.

Over the half way point - $10K should be a fricken lay up - but this is a one day campaign.
