The Thank a Service Member Campaign

Daughter Hugs Father

The Thank A Service Member / TASM Campaign is an initiative designed to raise funds to fulfill the immediate needs and long-term necessities of disabled and needy veterans, active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families. Please read below for more details.

The heart of the Thank A Service Member Campaign is the campaign coin. This coin has been specifically designed to express our pride and gratitude to our military service members, both active duty and veterans, for their dedication, courage, accomplishments, and sacrifices.

The coin is intended to serve as a source of pride and remembrance and is being distributed in two ways:

Individual donors who donate $20.00 or more will receive a coin as a token of our appreciation for the donation. It is our hope that once the donor receives the coin they will either keep it as a cherished keepsake and reminder of the sacrifices of our service men and women, or pass it on (with a hearty hand shake) to an active duty service member or military veteran as their way of saying, ”Thanks for your service to our country”.

In addition, we’re asking the business community to sponsor these coins so we may distribute them directly to Veteran’s at VA hospitals and selected events. We will visit as many VA hospitals as possible and it’s our sincere hope that we have enough coins to present to every veteran whose hand we shake!

Our Goals

Charity Promotions USA recognizes the importance of the big picture -- funds raised through this campaign will be carefully invested in programs that fulfill the immediate needs and long-term necessities of disabled and needy veterans, active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families.

The CPUSA Thank A Service Member™ campaign goals include providing gap funding to other qualified Veterans organizations such as the Military Order of The Purple Heart*, American Legion*, Disabled American Veterans*, and other veteran based organizations as well as the establishment and funding for local outreach programs and initiatives for military personnel. As this campaign grows, so will the list of worthy recipients - please check back often.
