Wow! The public response to our "Operation Cash for Candy" promotion was absolutely fantastic! We had half a ton of candy donated by Tri-City children which is now on its way to the troops. We trust many smiles will be created and many lives will be saved as our brave soldiers use this candy to further information gathering in the war zones. The comments from the kids as they brought in the candy was heartwarming and said it all. "As soon as we heard we could give our candy to the soldiers, we were excited to go out and get as much as we could. This was so much fun!" And, "Thank you for letting us give some candy to the troops."

Thank you Tri-Cities for supporting this project. We'll do it again for sure next year, adn maybe we can get double our efforts and get a ton of candy! We are very thankful to the local media who fraciously helped us to get the word out and support our cause.
