A group of individuals from Dreyfus have formed a volunteer team of 40 runners and walkers that will compete in the 2008 ING Georgia Half-Marathon in Atlanta on March 30, 2008. This is the Dreyfus Team’s second fundraising campaign for Fisher House Foundation. Help us reach our fundraising goal by sponsoring a team member today!
The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. A long-term stay in a military hospital, sometimes thousands of miles from home, could mean expensive lodging and long separations from loved ones. But in recognition of the special sacrifices of severely wounded or ill service members and their families, the Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes" so that America's military families can be together during extended treatment for serious illness or lengthy physical and/or occupational therapy.
