306 Bed Bug Hill Road Southampton, NJ 08088 | (609) 859-5555 | troopdogs@comcast.net or dogtrainingcompany@comcast.net | troopdogs.com | We send care packages to military dog teams overseas There are 2700 teams in the military and an estimated 700 currently in the middle east. These amazing dogs are trained for patrol, search, explosive detection and apprehension. The care packages sent contain items for both the dogs and their handlers. We receive 5 requests per week and ship approximately 10 packages per week. So far we have personally shipped over 500 packages and and addt'l 169 have been shipped by Friends of Project Troop Dogs. We will continue to ship as long as there are requests. | Our #1 need is sponsors to cover the shipping costs of the packages. Monetary donations are used to cover shipping costs and to provide additional items to fill the boxes. If you review the list, these teams are only asking for basic necessities...a small request considering they are willing to die for our freedom. If you desire, your contact information would be included with every box you sponsor and you would receive direct responses from the recipient teams whose lives you touch. Feel free to browse the thank you section of our site...our donors are changing lives one team at a time. We would be so appreciative of your support - which would allow us to let these brave furry soldiers and their handlers - know how much we truly do care. Thank you for your time. |

Box 2029 Cinnaminson, NJ 08077 | 609-472-5120 | yorkies3@comcast.net | being developed | Be My STAR is a newly formed NPO whose vision is a world without childhood cancer and until that day, children and families will have all the resources they need to fight this devastating disease. We have several activities planned for the year which need funds generated to be successful.
We host Everett's Fun Day at the VFW on Fairview St. in Delran in September (which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month). The purpose of Everett's Fun Day is two-fold. One of the goals is to heighten awareness of childhood cancer so that parents are aware and can detect early signs and that the public will be more aware so that they will help fund a cure. The major goal is to provide a day when children with cancer (and their families) can come out and just have a good time. We provide food, activities, games, moon bounce, entertainment. It is a very fun day for all.
Another big event we participate in is CHOP's Parkway Run. We raise funds for the CHOP Cancer Center. | To support the activities of the organization to heighten awareness of childhood cancer, improve the quality of life for children with cancer, provide financial assistance to struggling families, advocate for childhood cancer patients and fund research to find a cure. |
