USO Of Jacksonville North Carolina Event

USO-NC Jacksonville is partnering with the Kangaroo Express July 21st in Morehead City from 10am-4pm for their "Roo Carnival" to kickoff their "Salute Our Troops" campaign. The carnival will be held outside and will include kid's activities, food & drink, and lots of fun! Last year Kangaroo Express stores raised $2.5 million to support military-related charities including The USO, Wounded Warrior Project, N.C. National Guard Soldiers and Airment Assistance Fund. The campaign will begin June 27th and go through September 4th, during which time the stores will collect donations, host events, and highlight community support of nearby military and veteran populations.

Kangaroo Express stores are run by The Pantry, Inc. a Cary-based company with more than 1,600 stores across 13 states. This years donations will benefit the USO, Wounded Warrior Project, and National Guard funds in Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and the U.S. Veterans Corps. "Salute the Troops" was an overwhelming success last year thanks to the passion and commitment of the Kangaroo Express employees who brought the campaign to life, rallying communities and the customers they serve to support our military and their families. Their hope is to continue that excellence, building on their legacy of commitment and gratitude for the sacrifices requred to protect our nation and preserve our freedom.
