Second Annual DVD's For The Troops Campaign Update

The following is from JerichoNet2.com ~ DVD's For Troops: Deadline & Information

On behalf of JR4OT, The Staten Island Project Homefront and the Troops that will be able to share in our enjoyment of Jericho's Season 2.

Thank You!

If this effort helps our men and women serving let their minds leave where they are for even a short time, then we can all know we did a little something to improve their day and thank them for their sacrifices.

Here is a current update on where the Season 2 effort stands:

DVD's Purchased Outright: 55 DVD's

Ms. Oyer's Class at Boca Raton Middle School: 21 DVD's

Amazon Gift Card Donations: $788

Mike Loomer (CBS) (Jerichon Auction) Donation: $975

Jericho4Kids (Jerichon Raffle): $267

Total Available For Additional DVD Purchases: $2,030

(Approx. 100 DVD's + 76, Total 176 DVD's)

This is an ongoing effort and the plan is to not only continue it, but to expand on it. Talks are underway with over a dozen other fandoms who have expressed an interest to include their beloved shows on this continuing wish list. The results of this will be nothing short of amazing, all benefiting the troops with future plans to include Veterans as recipients.

HOWEVER, for now, we are working with both Amazon for a volume discount to maximize the donated dollars and with SIPH to utilize their non-profit, tax exempt status. The two successfully combined could amount to over 25 additional DVD's for the troops. For the purpose of negotiating these additional discounts, only the donations in house by 9 PM Eastern on Monday, June 16th will help give us this bargaining power.

The DVD's will be shipped to the troops with the notes you've submitted. It has been noted more than a few times that the notes alone add a smile to their day, so please feel free to send a note even if you are not donating. Ultimately, we would love to see a note on each DVD shipped from Jericho fans.

Also, if you have a family member, friend or even neighbor serving that you would like to see be a recipient of one of the DVD's please contact us, this can be so easily be arranged.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN, YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!

This is so wonderful, and to think that other fandoms are talking about hooking up with this idea is amazing. I am no longer surprised at the wonderful ways the Jericho Fans pull together to get something done. I truly believe they can do just about anything they put their minds to and I can't wait to hear what is up next for the Fans!
