You helped raise $19,000 for the troops – Thank you!

July 4, 2011 | Steve McGough | |

As we noted last week, Troopathon 2011 was a big success. During the day-long program they raised more than $500,000 for care packages to send to the troops. This year – for the second year in a row – our team the Greyhawks came in first place during the blogger competition. You chipped in to raise more than $19,000!

The Greyhawks, including Radio Vice Online, Ron Winter Books and the Connecticut Watchdog Blog, would like to thank our readers and especially the Sound Off Connecticut audience for not only meeting our $17,000 goal but exceeding it by $2,000.

Overall, the blogger competition helped to bring in more than $30,000 during the last 30 days.

We’re blown away by your generosity. Thank you.

    I can’t let this go without a comment. Thanks to RVO for making it easy to donate to our troops and know that our money would actually go to help them. Wish I could have given more, but loads of those pesky, rich, bad capitalists came through.?
