Military Child of the Year
My name is Danielle Campbell, and I am the Program Coordinator for our Family Support Services department here at Operation Homefront.
Every year (now in its 18th year) Operation Homefront hosts the Military Child of the Year® Awards. The awards are open to military children between the ages of 13-18. There are 7 recipients 1 child from each branch of the services and each recipient receives $10,000 CASH, a laptop, other donated goodies, and a 3-day trip to Washington, DC with us and their families.
Children are entered by nominations. Anyone that knows a military child can nominate any military child. So, you may nominate your students, friend’s children, children can nominate their siblings and best friends and so on. The awards are open to Active Duty, reserves, Gold Star, National Guard, AND retired military children.
The program is entirely FREE and exclusive to military children.
I was writing today to ask if you would be willing to help us share the word about the awards with your military families? Nominations are OPEN NOW and will remain open until December 2nd!!! If you would like I can email you a flyer to share as well. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to respond to this email or call the number below. And thank you for supporting military community!
