HeroBox Teams Up With Local Restaurants to Support the Troops

Partners II Pizza, will host “Support the Troops” night with HeroBox, to benefit the men and women deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 July 22, 2009, TYRONE, GA. – Tyrone’s local non-profit organization, HeroBox has now surpassed 3,000 requests for HeroBoxes from deployed troops. In response, founder Ryan Housley is asking for help to support our troops through restaurant nights dedicated to our heroes. During a Support the Troops Night event, a percentage of profits earned by a business during a specified period of time will be donated to HeroBox in its effort to aide the men and women deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Partners II Pizza owner-operator John Kaufman have teamed up with HeroBox for one night to raise funds for our military veterans. Come meet the HeroBox staff and join Partners II Pizza for a night of fun and philanthropy, Wednesday July 29th in Tyrone, Georgia.

 Partners II Pizza is a family-oriented restaurant. Partners II was voted “Best Pizza in Fayette & Coweta County” but is also known nationwide. The Roadrunner Pizza won second place in the 10th Annual International Pizza Festival contest sponsored by “Pizza Today” Magazine and Wisconsin Cheese Board. On July 29th, families can enjoy pizza, pasta, wraps, salads, and an exciting magician that all the kids will surely love.

 HeroBox currently houses 3000 soldiers in their database, all awaiting a care package.  The organization is powered by volunteers across the nation to supply care packages to those soldiers.  Corporate businesses, schools, churches, and families have all adopted soldiers to send thousands of boxes overseas.   An individual HeroBox can be sent for $25 that includes goods, materials, and shipping costs.  With the high demand for care packages HeroBox also seeks monetary and item donations to provide HeroBoxes to soldiers who have not been otherwise sponsored or adopted by area residents.  For more information about HeroBox and how you can get involved, visit www.herobox.org.
