VMI RATS and BOOTS PUSH UP CHALLENGE

[bruno]

Seems like a pretty worthy endeavor- Rats will be doing a pushup challenge on Nov 29th to raise money for the Boots Campaign ( Wounded Vet PTSD charity).

The Rats at VMI will be trying to raise money for the “Boot Campaign”, the “Proceeds from boot sales are donated to partner charities, who assist returning veterans dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and varying degrees of physical injuries”

HERE'S THE STORY: SUPPORT TROOPS

The Rat Mass at VMI is hosting a push-up challenge on November 29 to raise funds to benefit the Boot Campaign while honoring the graduating class of 2013. Each RAT is taking pledges for their own personal push-up goal.

The Boot Campaign helps you show your appreciation for American troops, raise awareness of the challenges they face when they return home, and raises money to support their transition home.
