INJURED MARINE SEMPER FI FUND Semper Fi Fund

 

 

PURCHASE MARINE BUTTONS AND MUMS!  A NEW TRADITION!
This year, the Dragon football team's annual philanthropy project will benefit the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. Throughout September and October the fundraising activities will include events honoring America's military.  Sales of charity mums and buttons for the homecoming game will go directly to the Semper Fi Fund.   
The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund was established in 2004 and assists Marines, sailors and service members who were injured while assigned to Marine forces and their families during their difficult road to recovery. The fund has provided over 15,000 grants totaling over $31 million in assistance to America's Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom wounded heroes and families.

 

Be sure to purchase your Marine Semper Fi button and mums and help this worthwile charity.  Buttons and mums are available at the DMS Dragons' Closet. 

 

For more information on this important project, please contact Shelly Powell at 817-475-5148.

FRIENDS OF RACHEL-

 

Imagine moving to a shelter; you basically have just the cloths on your back and nothing else. Imagine how difficult it would be to start the school year out with no school supplies. The Friends of Rachel from Dawson Middle School are working to help those kids in need by collecting school supplies. If you are out shopping this week, please keep them in mind and pick up something to help them start off the new year right. We have boxes in the atrium to collect those supplies, so bring them to school and drop them in the box. We'll get them to the students who desperately need them!
