The success of The Holiday Card Challenge is visible in the smiles and notes of gratitude received back from active duty warriors.
The card recipients can not reply directly to the card signers. They are often working in combat zones without easy access to public communications or in places that cannot be publicly disclosed. We feel their gratitude and send them love and respect and support.
2022 launched the QR CODE opportunity to open a feedback loop for our Warriors and their Families. Each card is bundled with a QR CODE that allows our Troops, Veterans, & their Families to directly upload photos of themselves and their fellow Warriors with your wonderful cards. Please join the HOLIDAY CARD CHALLENGE Facebook Page to see their smiling faces!
During the Covid Pandemic, Dr. Landerman-Garber teamed up with U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (NH) to create the #cards2connect Challenge. By writing notes and cards to our Veterans who had been isolated during the Pandemic, our Veterans in hospitals, assisted living and nursing home communities, they were reminded of our care and appreciation for their Service.
#cards2connect is a sister-platform to send cards, not only to our Veterans, but also to our Service Famiies and to those US Military Members who serve our Country in a variety of ways. Cards had been sent to Military helping with the vaccine rollouts, those stationed at the US Capitol and US Embassies, and to those young enlistees and new officers who are at training camps within the United States. Service Families and their loved ones in the Military receive cards-of-care as they reconnect after deployment and training.
The heart and soul of the Card Challenge belongs to the millions of card creators and signers from sea to shining sea! From the youngest to our senior citizens , from all walks of life, religions, ages, political parties and modern families. Their hard work coupled with their generous hearts make up the countless volunteer hours and result in a “mission accomplished”! The Gallery is filled with many who were part of the Village that came together and got the job done. They did it with grace and joy, dedication and kindness!
Promoting the Challenge, purchasing, boxing and shipping holiday greetings by the ton around the globe costs money.
Monetary donations in support of these and related costs will be gratefully received.
