Team Help Our Heroes
Help Our Heroes collected money to send care
packages and letters to troops who are deployed in Kuwait and bases around
the world.
We worked to get
soldiers into the
iJAG classrooms
to talk about their experience
s in the military,
and how much it
means to them to receive
packages while they
are deployed.
A Change Drive was implemented
at Dubuque Hempstead High School with the help of the iJAG
classes.
$600 Dollars
was donated within
the first week.
Our $700 goal was met
in just 10
days.
We collected over
$900 to support
our troops all over
the world.
Thank you
letters to the
Phlockers who raised $120
dollars for our service project.
Items donated to our cause! (:

cards donated by Mystique Casino in Dubuque,
Iowa
Help Our Heroes teamed up with the iJAG classes to write
letters and cards expressing their
thanks to our soldiers.
We are also recruiting local elementary and middle schools in the area to write monthly
letters too!
Care packages all bundled up
and ready to be “shipped out”
To Kuwait
with LOVE!
With the money collected we plan to send themed care
packages to a different troop every
month.
Nothing beats a “little taste of
home”
The non-profit we would like to support is the
Hemsptead iJAG Program
iJAG works with students at
risk of dropping out of
school and keeps them
engaged until graduation and gives support a
year after graduation as
well.Students work on employability skills, job survival skills, and other important skills, such as teamwork and leadership.
The money earned from the Super Service Challenge, will be
used to give them leadership opportunities they would not
normally get such as a leadership day at a local ropes
course, college visits, and teambuilding activities.
The money will also go
towards more service
projects that iJAG will do
such as adopting a family for Christmas, donating to
The Salvation Army, and
doing a random acts of kindness
day.
With your help we can not
only support
our troops, but help
our youth become leaders in their
community.
