The Care Package Project  
May thru July 2009
ETA's goal was to raise $110 to send two packages.  ETA ended up raising $440 to donate to The Care Package Project.  That means eight marines will receive a care package!  The Care Package Project is an organization run by parents of Marines who take the donations and create care packages for Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan who do not receive packages or mail from family or friends. They ship over 1,000 care packages five to six times a year to those Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Learn more about The Care Package Project.
