Soldier On Sports Recovery/Rehabilitation Fund

[Takeniteasy]

Good day to all;

Jenn Corbett has put together a cook book over the past year and is producing it for sale. Proceeds will be going to the Soldier On Fund. 600 orders and counting. She has surpassed what she thought would be ordered and is excited about the support she is getting. The recipes are from CF families and supporters. Link to information on how to get one for yourself is below.

Those are some wicked race suits, Andrew. Has there been thought to either auction them off, or produce more for sale as a fundraiser?

IRONMAN3, it was nice to meet you at the Army Run and please keep up the good work.

Good day everyone;

I am looking for feedback on the Soldier On logo that I have attached. What are your thoughts? What do you think would best represent the ethos of the program?

1. The Tri Service Badge?
or
2. The Yellow Ribbon?

Andrew

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

I like it.

There are too many other crests/logos out there with a yellow ribbon them to stand out.

 

[PMedMoe]

I agree with Bruce, the yellow ribbon is getting a bit over used.  I like the crest the way it is.

 

[PuckChaser]

I'll third the motion to keep that crest, looks great.

Thanks for the feedback; a couple more links to Legacy of Care and Capt Kim Fawcett's recent Bronze Medal performance at the World Paratriathlon Championships in Budapest.
