$1 million goal to support the USO, Wounded Warrior and the Florida National Guard Foundation

Saint Augustine, Fla. — December 6, 2014 The Florida National Guard Foundation has joined The Pantry, Inc., the leading independently operated convenience store chain in the southeastern United States, for the “Salute Our Troops” campaign inviting customers in more than 1,600 Kangaroo Express convenience stores across 13 states to demonstrate united support for military personnel and their families. 

The Florida National Guard Foundation and Kangaroo Express are empowering communities to shine a spotlight of praise and gratitude on the military by enlisting donations at Kangaroo Express stores to raise $1 million from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Funds will support the USO, celebrating 70 years of delivering programs, entertainment and other services to the military; Wounded Warrior Project, honoring and empowering injured servicemen and women; and National Guard family assistance programs in five states, to include the Florida National Guard Foundation.
