Give2TheTroops® is a 501 (c) 3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization that sends care packages
and letters to our deployed and
wounded
military troops in combat zones. We are non-political and support all branches of the service.
Founded in December of
2002, by a
U.S. Marine wife, the organization has grown to branches in many states. Since 2002, G2TT has sent more than
96,000 large boxes (averaging 65 lbs. each) to more than half a million American military troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and other combat zones.
Let's Give our Troops a little RELAXATION, EXERCISE & RECREATION!
When we started Give2TheTroops, the goal was to do whatever it took to lift the troops' spirits.
If that meant sending over an XBOX system or a wrestling mat, then that's what we did.
As long as our troops felt appreciated and had a boost of morale, we felt our Mission was worthwhile.
Our organization is known for the "special requests care packages" we send. Whether those requests are medical books for the Combat Support Hospitals, items for our canine troops, soccer equipment for local children, religious materials, or other Humanitarian aid items, we will deliver ... as long as money keeps coming in for postage and volunteers keep showing up to help!
This mission is a request for GOLF ITEMS!
It started with a few sets of golf clubs back in 2004 when a few sailors wanted to tee off from their ships.
Soon other troops began asking if we could get them golf equipment, turf, tees, balls and clubs. And we delivered! Now, thanks to many donors and volunteers, we've shipped more than 10,000 golf sets to our deployed
troops and we're giving our troops GOLF GALORE!
  
Donate your golf clubs & golf balls (in good condition) as
well as boxes to ship the golf sets!
Financial donations are also greatly appreciated and will help pay for
the overseas shipping costs to mail the golf clubs to our troops!

To Date, Give2TheTroops
has provided more than 25,000 golf clubs as well as turf, balls and other items to our troops in combat as well as to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Bethesda Naval Hospital, Camp Lejeune's Wounded Warrior Clinics for their therapeutic recreational programs!
Checks should be made payable to: "Give2TheTroops, Inc."
(Please write "Golf" in the memo field of your check so we may earmark those funds for our golf campaign.)
