Arc’teryx LEAF has produced a new, limited edition, giveaway-only, hat made from MultiCam Tweave. The first batch went to the Special Operations Care-Fund‘s luncheon last week to raise money to pay for hyperbaric treatments for wounded Veterans. I attended the function and purchased one of the hats in order to give it away on SSD.
Oftentimes companies come to us and ask which charities they should consider donating to. It’s a tough decision and we have a few favorites. But, we’d like to hear about your favorites. To win this hat, all you have to do is enter by telling us your favorite charity. It doesn’t even have to be a military charity.
SSD is hoping that you’ll consider donating to a charity or those in need this holiday season. Good luck!
To enter:
1. In the comments section of THIS article on SSD share your favorite charity. Only entries here are eligible to win.
2. Comments are open from 0900 EST today, November 18th until 0859 EST tomorrow, November 19th.
3. Use any alias you want to post but be sure to use a valid email address since that’s how we’ll contact the winner.
4. 1 winner will be selected at random.
5. One entry per email address. We will delete entries that violate this policy.
6. Must be 18 to enter. Void where prohibited.
Semper Fi Fund

94.6% of money raised by the Semper Fi Fund goes directly to helping injured Marines. Look around for another charity that can claim that high a percentage going to directly to their programs and services, I doubt there are many.

Great group that does a lot, including providing a central network for military members to find volunteers willing to board their pets while they are deployed or have other service commitments, making them unable to temporarily care for their pets.

Great organization when I was in Afghanistan the first time. When six months had gone by and I still hadn’t gotten even a letter from my wife a buddy’s sister signed me up and they showed me a ton of support and even a couple pairs of socks.
A good one that isnt as high profile as Wounded Warrior, but supports the military family Is the Brothers In Arms Foundation
