For Immediate Release<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Results for Truckers for Troops\u00ae 11th annual campaign<\/h3>\n

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association said the Truckers for Troops\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0care package campaign raised a total of $46,424. The campaign took place the week of Nov. 13-17, 2017.<\/p>\n

The fundraising effort is an OOIDA tradition since 2007 and has a head start with a generous donation of $2,000 from Shell Rotella. Truckers for Troops raises money to pack and send care packages to service personnel stationed in combat zones.<\/p>\n

Truckers for Troops will also help a variety of veteran\u2019s facilities here in the U.S., including those assisting or housing wounded, disabled or homeless service members.<\/p>\n

During Truckers for Troops week, a broadcast is planned for each day on OOIDA\u2019s \u201cLand Line Now\u201d satellite radio show on Sirius XM 146. During that week, truckers can join OOIDA or renew their membership for $35, with 10 percent of that money going toward care packages. OOIDA matches the 10 percent dollar for dollar. Any new or renewal memberships collected through the start of business Mon., Nov. 20 will go toward the Truckers for Troops fund. Individual tax-deductible contributions to the Truckers for Troops fund are also welcome and can be paid to the OOIDA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. You can also visit Jon Osburn at The Spirit of the American Trucker touring trailer during the campaign and sign up or renew your membership.<\/p>\n

During the past 10 years, the Truckers for Troops effort has raised more than $500,000, allowing the Truckers for Troops to send care packages to nearly 36,000 military personnel.<\/p>\n

The Association is also currently seeking addresses for sending packages and accepting personal cards or letters to include inside the packages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like getting handmade cards or letters from a variety of groups and individuals to include in the packages,\u201d said Norita Taylor, OOIDA director of public relations. \u201cA personal note or card adds warmth to what we send.\u201d<\/p>\n

PACKAGE ADDRESSES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who has a family member or friend serving in a combat zone with the U.S. military, and who would like for them to get a care package, can send the name and complete address to\u00a0troops@ooida.com<\/a>\u00a0and be sure to include projected stateside return date. We are also looking for veteran facilities with unmet needs.<\/p>\n
