Get ready to show your community spirit, Susanville! The Soaring Eagle Blue Star Moms are kicking off a fun, patriotic community fundraiser called “Operation Stars & Stripes: Deploying Patriotism One Yard at a Time!” Running through July 10th, this exciting event directly benefits Honor Flight, with every single dollar raised helping to send our deserving local veterans on the trip of a lifetime.
The concept is simple and full of neighborhood fun. You can choose a local friend, family member or neighbor to surprise, and the Blue Star Moms will decorate their yard with stars and stripes. A standard yard deployment is just $25 and is perfect for most yards. If you want to keep your identity completely under wraps, you can add a top-secret deployment anonymity add-on for an additional $10 to ensure your mysterious gift stays anonymous.
If you wake up to find that your own yard has been “invaded,” you get to join in on the fun and take action to rescue your yard! You have a few great choices on how to respond. You can pay a $15 rescue fee to have the decorations removed early, or you can choose to counter-deploy for $25 to send the patriotic display to a brand-new target.
If you want to keep your property completely off-limits from the start, you can buy surrender insurance for $50 to ensure your yard stays safe. Just keep in mind the most important rule of the operation: a yard can only be invaded once!
The more people who participate, the more money our community can raise for Honor Flight. Click here to sign up online. For any questions, you can message the organizers directly or follow the Susanville Blue Star Moms on Facebook for updates!
