Hats Off To Operation Gratitude and Pepsi

I received great news in the mail last week from one of our key charitable partners, Operation Gratitude, and its receipt of a $50,000 grant from Pepsi. As part of the “Pepsi Refresh Project,” the soft drink giant is making cash donations to “fund great ideas” and chose to fund postage costs for Operation Gratitude’s care package shipments to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to Op Gratitude’s Carolyn Blashek, she plans to ship a total of 50,000 Care Packages in April through June to the troops in the Gulf region, and Pepsi’s donation will be a needed helping hand in covering these shipping costs. Over the last two years, Veterans Advantage has been donating complimentary membership cards in these care packages, and we salute Carolyn and the team at Operation Gratitude for keeping the momentum going.
