Earache Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) I'm trying to raise some cash to help buy spurs for Ohio US Army Cavalry Spurs.Members of the US Army Cav units are award a set of spurs with their name engraved on them for serving in a combat zone. Ohio has one such unit, the C-TROOP 2-107 CAV unit, serving in Iraq right now. They need to raise around $3,500 to equip each soldier serving with spurs.This spurs are purchased through donations. Each set of spurs runs $25, but any amount will help. Donations can be paypal'd to EaracheMS@Gmail.com or sent to the Army Wife in charge of accepting donations here:NANCY STEMAN-FEDERLE2908 BOHLEN DRIVEHILLIARD, OHIO 43026Please make the checks payable to "Friends and Family of C-TROOP 2-107 CAV" and also let me know your name and how much you've donated so that I can enter you into the raffle outlined below.Raffle!For every $10 you donate, you'll get one entry into a drawing for a free hotel room for one night in Indianapolis or Columbus.Stay free at either the Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre or the Columbus Doubletree Hotel Downtown. Indy: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=3054Columbus: http://doubletree1.hilton.com/en_US/dt/hotel/CMHSBDT-Doubletree-Guest-Suites-Columbus-Ohio/index.doI'll keep track of the names and donations and then forward them to Casper for the drawing. That way, I can show no favoritism (or un-favoritism:D ).You pick the dates and which city you want to stay in. The hotels will award a free room as long as they're not sold out or have some huge function going on. Indy might be able to award the room during MotoGP weekend if the reservation is made far enough in advance.Please help - THANKS!!!!

chevysoldier Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 The second pic is wrong. Combat spurs are gold not silver. Silver spurs are earned by doing a spur ride. I hope you can raise the money. I'll see if I have any money I can spare for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 huh? Each set of spurs cost about $25. They need to raise about $3,500 to get each soldier a set of combat spur. There must be about 140 soldiers because $3500 divided by $25 is 140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
