GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEER

A Campaign of this size and scope needs every willing hand. Help now with our fundraising and awareness campaigns.

Harness the power of the internet.

Create a personalized fundraising page and tell your own story about why the Museum is important to you. Then send it out to your email contacts and post to social media asking your friends and networks to support you and watch the money roll in.

You can fundraise for an occasion like your birthday, instead of receiving gifts; in honor or in memory of someone; or asking people to sponsor you for running a race. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Working in your community.

The Grassroots Volunteer Program relies on a nationwide network of individuals and organizations that want to help promote local awareness in their communities of the National Army Museum and generate local contributions. Volunteers will receive the tools necessary to be successful. Each volunteer receives a grassroots kit, which includes items such as brochures, posters and newsletters to support their efforts.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Veteran Jerry Hansen, Carlsbad, CA, launched a cIMG_1342ampaign in July 2015 to raise money to purchase Army Commemorative bricks for his twenty West Point classmates who were killed in action during Vietnam. With only two emails to the class roster, Hansen raised more than double his goal. In addition to the twenty bricks, his class will now also be listed on the Veterans’ Hall Wall.

Robena Reid’s father served in the Signal Corps for three and half years in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Reid, of Lorton, VA, hands out brochures and tells people she meets about her dad’s service and the Museum’s purpose. She inspires people to learn more about historical events and to reflect upon the impact of past events on their personal lives.
