Band Blitz IX for the Military
Hits a High Note for GreenCare for Troops
Project EverGreen’s Band Blitz IX for the Military on August 14 in Delano, Minnesota, brought friends, partners, and music lovers together for a powerful night of support raising $16,000 for GreenCare for Troops through sponsorships and raffle ticket sales. Community generosity was on full display, with raffle items totaling $5,800 in value and an energetic crowd rallying behind our mission to provide complimentary lawn and landscape services to the families of deployed military personnel.
A special thank you to The Toro Company for donating six pieces of outdoor power equipment – trimmers, chain saw, mower, and snow blower – that helped make the raffle a standout success.
We’re grateful to our event sponsors for their leadership and commitment:
