A local fundraiser aimed at assisting American service personnel achieved a milestone recently.
The Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary Club announced today that the Troopon campaign of providing manufacturer’s coupons to American service personnel has now collected over $100,000 worth of coupons.
The club’s Troopon project coordinator, Jane Becker, informed the club at its April 27 meeting that coupons with a total redemption value of $112,031.38 have been collected since the campaign began last November.
The program collects manufacturer’s coupons in drop-off boxes around the Jacksonville area, which are sorted by type, and then shipped to the “Support Our Troops” national non-profit organization in Daytona, Florida for distribution.
