Attention Project Valour IT - Team Air Force
UPDATED with a new 'Widget' for Team Air Force!
WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: October 29th through Veterans Day, November 11th .
WHERE: Based in the blogosphere, spreading everywhere else.
WHY: Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
HOW: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches, with civilians "up for grabs."
"At that time I had no use of either hand. I know how humbling it is, how humiliating it feels. And I know how much better I felt, how amazingly more functional I felt, after Soldiers' Angels provided me with a laptop and a loyal reader provided me with the software. I can't wait to do the same, to give that feeling to another soldier at Walter Reed." - Captain Chuck Ziegenfuss at TC Override (wounded in Iraq)
It's a tax-deductible donation and eligible for matching funds from companies who do that sort of thing (see: IRS INFO ).
The snail mail address for those who'd rather donate that way (be sure to put AIR FORCE in big letters on the check):

If I click that "CHIP IN" link, will that send my contribution on behalf of the Air Force team?
