Mission: Possible!

We’re calling all civilians to do their part to help us help our heroes. Tori is challenging everyone (of any age) to sacrifice one birthday of gifts. In lieu of receiving gifts, ask friends to donate to Operation Sweet 16 instead. And teens can make a huge difference by creating their own fundraisers and donating monies raised to Operation Sweet 16 so that we can all assist U.S. Soldiers in need. All proceeds benefit other reputable charities assisting our U.S. Military.

You Can Be a Hero’s Hero at Any Age

Think you can’t help? Operation Sweet 16 was inspired and founded by one 15-year-old girl. All she did was give up her Sweet 16 birthday party and ask all her friends, family members and the community to donate money to her cause. She was on a one-woman mission that became so much more when her friends and the community rallied to support her.

You don’t have to be a teen (or a girl) to participate and it doesn’t matter how much you raise. If five people raise $50, we can help a Soldier in need! It’s not about how much money you raise, but how much money we raise working together.
