Drumhike: Sponsors Page

Thanks to all who have helped. Several Organizations have come together to support A Soldier's Hike for our Heroes:

	HEROES OF THE DIAMOND We are proud to join forces with the Heroes of the Diamond to help Troy raise funds and awareness for our military families during their historic “Red, White and Blue Tour" delivering unique patriotic events designed to entertain fans and honor America. They conduct a choreographed pre-game and half-time performance at sporting events that include: "Passing the Flag" - "Taps" - "Walk of Honor" - "9-11 Tribute" and other ceremonies. Troy will take part in a number of these unique events in addition to having the Heroes of the Diamond hike alongside him when possible.

	Soldiers' Angels is proud to support SPC Troy Yocum on this truly inspiring Hike For Our Heroes. "May No Soldier Go Unloved," encapsulates the motivation behind Soldiers' Angels. The volunteers of Soldiers' Angels work tirelessly to demonstrate active care and concern for veterans, the wounded, deployed service members and their families. Soldiers' Angels volunteers will spread the word in their communities before Troy's arrival in their area. Soldiers' Angels media team will also post updates on Troy's progress on their official sites at Twitter @soldiersangels, http://www.facebook.com/SoldiersAngelsOfficial and http://www.myspace.com/soldiersangelsofficial We are happy to have started off Troy's fundraiser efforts with a $1,000 donation and urge others to contribute. Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families.

With over 30 different teams and projects, our nearly 200,000 volunteers assist veterans, wounded and deployed personnel and their families in a variety of unique and effective ways.

	Vets-Cars.com is proud to support Troy Yocum on his noble journey to raise awareness and assist the families of America's Warriors. When I first learned of Specialist Troy Yocum’s plans to honor-and raise money for-the families of America’s heroes; I was astounded by the sheer ambition of his trek: Hike seven thousand miles around the U.S.A. in sixteen months. I was further amazed at how news of Drum Hike-Hike for Heroes dream has spread. According to his Facebook page, thousands of people are already aware of Troy’s journey and the outpouring of support and enthusiasm throughout the country is nothing short of amazing. I knew that if Vets-Cars.com didn’t get involved with this soldier’s mission, it was going to miss out on something very exciting – a special calling

	Military Benefit Association (MBA) is proud to sponsor Troy’s amazing hike across the USA to raise funds for military families.
