Support Our Troops This October

DeGeorge Partners × Troopathon

This October, DeGeorge Partners is inviting our community to come together in support of U.S. military personnel and veterans through a month-long fundraiser benefiting Troopathon, a nonprofit dedicated to sending care and encouragement to those who serve.

Funds raised will go toward assembling care packages filled with essentials—snacks, hygiene products, socks, and handwritten notes of gratitude—that remind service members overseas and veterans at home that they are deeply appreciated.

Why It Matters

Every day, men and women in uniform make sacrifices for our freedoms. For many, a simple package from home filled with everyday comforts and heartfelt words can make all the difference. Together, we can send hope, comfort, and gratitude to those who protect us.

A Message from Karen DeGeorge

“Our military men and women sacrifice so much for our freedoms. This is our chance to give back in a way that feels personal. Every single care package is a reminder that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. We’re honored to partner with Troopathon and rally our community to make a difference together.”

— Karen DeGeorge, Founder and Principal of DeGeorge Partners

About Troopathon

Troopathon is a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting U.S. military personnel, veterans, and their families. Based in Sacramento, California, Troopathon was originally founded as Move America Forward before rebranding in 2024 to reflect its most impactful annual campaign.

Over the years, Troopathon has shipped more than 1,000 tons of care packages to deployed service members around the globe and to veterans here at home. These packages are filled with essentials—snacks, hygiene items, socks—and, most importantly, handwritten letters of gratitude that provide comfort, connection, and encouragement.

In addition to care packages, Troopathon hosts an annual telethon-style fundraising event that rallies national attention and raises millions in donations to sustain its mission. The organization also empowers volunteers and community partners across the country to launch their own local drives, write letters, and contribute directly to the effort.

Mission: To provide emotional and tangible support to those who serve, ensuring they know they are valued, remembered, and never alone.
