Eleven Eleven Campaign: For Our Veterans [UPDATED & BUMPED]

[Welcome Industry Radar readers!]

The Beyond Tribute Coalition has put together a bipartisan program to raise money for veterans' groups like Gold Star Mothers, Vietnam Veterans of America, and the Wounded Warrior Project, among others.


According to its organizers "(t)he objective of the Eleven Eleven Campaign is simple: to get 11 million Americans to donate $11 to support America’s Veterans." Although we promised no math here, that's $121,000,000 for our Vets. And they've chosen a unique way to go about it: by harnessing the power of the blogosphere.

How can you help? It's simple: starting today, and continuing until we've reached that magic number, you can text "VETS" to 85944 to contribute. Or, you can simply click on the 11-11 widget near the top of the sidebar to contribute $10 (Beyond Tribute will kick in the other $1)

If you'd like to show your appreciation to those who've served, then I encourage you to contribute the cost of a couple of lattes to this great cause.
