9/11 Seminar & Fundraiser

Remembering our Heros

On September 11, 2012 we will host a self defense seminar to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001. On this day, we will have an abbreviated schedule to accomodate this special seminar, which will be led by Pawel Cichowlas. We are asking for a minimum donation on $25.00 (Cash or check made payable to "Operation Homefront"). All donations benefit the military families and wounded warriors right here in Michigan.

Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance for our troops, for the families they leave behind, and for wounded warriors when they return home. The majority of their clients – 96 percent — are the lowest-paid service members; the E1 through E6 enlisted ranks. The target population is American military personnel and/or their families who have unmet needs due to death, injury, physical or mental detriment, or financial hardship as a result of service in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The emergency financial assistance is paid directly to mortgage lenders, auto mechanics, contractors, hospitals, doctors, dentists and other providers. As Sarah Davis, President of Operation Homefront Michigan states, “Operation Homefront Michigan is honored to support those who have sacrificed the most in defense of our country.”

Operation Homefront, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is proud to earn the highest rating – four stars – for four straight years from Charity Navigator, the nation’s top independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations. Nationally, 95 cents of every dollar donated to Operation Homefront goes to programs. Visit OperationHomefront.net/Michigan for more information.
