Operation Cadet Strong is a year-long fundraising campaign dedicated to raising $25,000 in 2025 to support our JROTC cadets. These funds will provide essential resources for leadership development, competition travel, uniforms, equipment, and special events that enrich the cadet experience. Through strategic community outreach, corporate sponsorships, fundraising events, and online donation campaigns, we aim to unite parents, alumni, and local businesses in supporting the future leaders of our nation.
To achieve our goal, we will implement:
Community Fundraising Events – Car washes, restaurant spirit nights, raffles, silent auctions, and annual fundraising dinners.
Corporate Sponsorship Program – Outreach to local businesses for sponsorships, offering recognition in return.
Online Giving Campaigns – Leveraging Givebutter.com for digital donations, text-to-give, and QR code campaigns.
Grant Applications & Matching Gifts – Seeking grant opportunities and encouraging employers to match employee donations.
Engagement & Awareness – Active social media promotions, email campaigns, and cadet-led initiatives to spread awareness.
Expected Outcome:
By the end of 2025, Operation Cadet Strong will:
✅ Raise $25,000 to directly support JROTC programs and activities.
✅ Increase Parent & Community Engagement through volunteer participation and local partnerships.
✅ Strengthen Cadet Development by funding travel, leadership camps, and necessary equipment.
✅ Enhance Donor Recognition by publicly acknowledging contributors and fostering long-term support.
With a committed team of volunteers and supporters, this mission is achievable. Together, we can empower our cadets for success!
