Title: Operation Mend
Post by: lovebus (jack) on December 20, 2013, 06:49:48 pm
Two years ago we sold T-Shirts and raised $500 for Operation Mend. I'm hoping we can do it again sometime. Established in 2007, Operation Mend is a pioneering program. It combines the best of the military's resources with the skills of UCLA Health System for a comprehensive and collaborative approach to healing United States military personnel wounded and disfigured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Envisioned by Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Board and Executive Committee member Ronald A. Katz and his wife, Maddie, Operation Mend's original goal was to give returning service members with severe facial injuries access to the Army's best burn center and the nation's best plastic and reconstructive surgeons.

Jack -
I think this is a great idea! I remember selling a bunch to strangers on the boardwalk at Dubs on the Board and a couple other shows over the summer. We should probably start thinking about designs and then produce them before the spring/summer show season so we can sell to more than just our club members. It's a good cause and lots of people want to support it. Great idea Jack!
