| Boldface Creative Launches HeroDedications.com - A Fund Raiser to Benefit National Military Family Association |
|
AUSTIN, TX (March 9, 2009) - In cooperation with the National Military Family Association, Boldface Creative, an innovative graphic design and creative services firm, today announced the launch of a new fund raising Web site, www.herodedications.com. Boldface Creative aims to raise nearly $6 million by Memorial Day (May 25, 2009), which will benefit the families of military service men and women. HeroDedications.com is the brainchild of two of the founders of Boldface Creative, Matt Krabbenhoft and Michael Warren. "We're just two guys who are concerned about the plight of our soldiers and their families as the war continues," said Krabbenhoft, president of Boldface Creative. "Neither of us has had the privilege of serving our country, so if we can put our talents to good use here at home, we have no excuse to sit and do nothing." Warren, Marketing VP for Boldface Creative, added, "We understand that it is difficult to ask for donations in these hard economic times, but we know that we can all make a difference no matter how small the contribution. We ask these brave men and women to leave their families while they protect us and our interests around the world. At the very least ,we can help make sure their families don't fall through the cracks in the system." The recent economic downturn has greatly affected everyone, but it only makes things worse for soldiers on active duty away from home. Families of service men and women already worry about the safety of their enlisted loved ones and shouldn't have to worry about paying the bills too. As of 2009, a first year enlisted soldier makes just over $16,000, according to Military.com. Soldiers, guardsmen and their families need America’s continued and full support - especially now. HeroDedications.com is trying to raise nearly $6,000,000 to support the families of the nation's service men and women by selling dedication space on a Web site - 100 pixels at a time. Friends, neighbors and companies can all participate and post dedications and messages of support to any soldier, past or present. Each dedication can be as big or small (100 pixels minimum) as specified and includes an enlarged roll-over dedication with a photo, message and URL. All dedications will remain on the site for five years from the time of purchase. Please visit www.herodedications.com to see the dedication walls and order dedication tiles.
