SEE’S FOR SOLDIERS

Local Kiwanis Clubs, working with the California Army National Guard, will be supporting our troops with See’s candy for the sixth year this holiday season via their highly successful “See’s for Soldiers” fundraiser.

The fundraising will begin November 20th and ends when the stores sell out of candy, approximately December 24th - or when the stores run out of candy. Note: Dates for all clubs/locations will vary but will be in the vicinity of the dates shown here.

Many Kiwanis clubs all over California and the Sacramento region sell See’s candy as their major fundraiser for the year. The money raised through candy sales goes back into the communities in many ways. The public can purchase an extra box of candy, leave it in the store and the California Army National Guard will collect the donations and send them to the many units deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Walter Reed Medical Center. Everybody wins! Last year, See’s For Soldiers raised over $13,000 for local Kiwanis clubs and in excess of 1300 pounds of candy to troops stationed all over the world.

For more information regarding this very special fundraiser, call SFC David Partak at 916-267-0669 or e-mail at david.partak@us.army.mil.
