The Rogers Family Company - Operation Gratitude "Letters to Our Troops" contest is heading into its 3rd week and going strong! You still have time to enter and encourage everyone you know to write letters to our deployed service members for the holidays and at the same time earn fun prizes for yourselves and much-needed money for your favorite schools!!
During our Holiday Drive, Operation Gratitude plans to send 70,000 care packages to troops deployed in combat zones overseas--we want to receive enough submissions from the contest to include at least one letter in every box. To meet this goal, we need everyone - students, parents, teachers...and all caring American citizens - to enter the contest and write letters. Students 12 years and under can write letters to be entered by their parents.
Roger's Family Company is offering 3 prize packages in a random drawing--all you need to do is enter! Win the Grand Prize and:
Your letter will be included in the 400,000th Operation Gratitude package
$2000 will be donated to the k-12 school of your choice
$250 gift certificate (good for a year's supply of Roger's Coffee) for you
$100 iTunes Gift card for you
More information on prizes can be found on the prize page.

WRITE A LETTER, ENTER TO WIN AND...MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The impact of a personal letter is incalculable: "My Husband was stationed in Iraq and I signed him up for Operation Gratitude. While there he received a letter from a lady in New York. This letter touched him dearly. She had lost her son, an EMT, in 9-11. This letter still means a lot to him. My husband has suffered some physical and mental issues resulting from his service in Iraq. When he starts to feel regret from serving his Country and the strain it put on him and his family, he takes out that letter and it makes him feel better. One person and one letter can make a difference."
