A packing party thrown by Tunes 4 the Troops will be Saturday, Oct. 25, in the Cleveland High School Commons for the 18th annual “Make a Difference Day”.
Tunes 4 the Troops will be packing and sending over 35,000 used and new CDs and DVDs worth over half a million dollars to troops stationed in combat zones.
Officials said, "We need people to help pack and prepare boxes. We also need donations to assist with the shipping. It costs $15 per box to ship via Media Mail. Or you can bring your donated CDs and DVDs by the Commons."
Tunes 4 the Troops is the brain child of 17-year-old Kaylee Marie Radzyminski, a senior at Cleveland High School. Due to national and international attention, Tunes 4 the Troops has sent over 370,000 donated items worth over $5.6 million overseas.
“Make a Difference Day” is the most encompassing national day of helping others - a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Created by USA Weekend magazine, “Make a Difference Day” is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.
For the Oct. 25 event, a total of $100,000 is available to “Make a Difference Day” events. To recognize outstanding volunteer accomplishments, 10 awards of $10,000 will be donated by Newman's Own. Award recipients will be selected by a panel of judges. Awards will be presented in April 2009.
