Giving a Percentage

A number of business people have stepped up to provide their unique support to Valour-IT. From jewelry to books to clothing, people are doing what they can to help wounded warriors reconnect as they recover.

Vision-Strike-Wear.Com, designers and printers of military t-shirts for domestic and deployed military units and Bouhammer, leading milblogger, have teamed up to develop Twitter T-shirts for Valour-IT. The design features a Twitter bird in camouflage and a military style helmet, with a variety of catch phrases. All sales of the Twitter t-shirts are being donated to Valour-IT. Tood Gilbert of Vision-Strike-Wear.com says, "It is our pleasure to be able to participate and support this more-than-worthy cause."

Military wife and entrepreneur Andi Hurley has been a longtime supporter of Soldiers' Angels. When she opened her store, MilitaryMatters.org, she designed a necklace especially for Soldiers' Angels and pledged to donate a portion of her profits to the organization. During the Valour-IT fundraiser (October 26 to November 11), she will donate $2 from ANY Military Matters purchase and $5 from each Soldiers’ Angels necklace to Valour-IT.

From October 26 through November 11 Author Judy Pugh is donating 10% of the cost of each sale of her inspirational new book, Reporting for Doodie, to Valour-IT. Reporting for Dootie is her story of caring for her grandson while both her daughter and son-in-law were deployed, and her discovery of “a secret vault filled with friends I never knew I had. I found myself in the midst of an unexpected divorce, facing the possible loss of my home and making a major career change when someone, somewhere, took a look at my proverbial ‘plate’ and thought… ‘there’s a little corner of her plate that isn’t taken, she needs a toddler to care for…oh, and at the same time, let’s throw in a rarely-heard-of medical condition to make her life even more interesting.’”

Grammy Awarding-winning singer-songwriter James Hooker is also pitching in with a beautiful donation. He is in the final stages of recording a new arrangement of his powerful Hangin’ Out with the Boys, which will be included in a new CD by the same name. When it is complete, he will be donating all proceeds from downloads of the songs through December 31 to Project Valour-IT. You can watch a video of the original Hangin’ Out with the Boys below.
