The 2011 Adopt-a-Unit Campaign was a huge success...

 

With the generous item & monetary donations provided by USTA/VA league players, event participants, staff, Board, and various medical & dental offices throughout the state, we were able to collect plenty of items to ship to our first adopted unit of 500 soldiers for the holidays.  THANK YOU to all who helped support the campaign.
