The Mission Continues invites you to join our basketball pool. All funds received will benefit our fellowship and service programs for wounded and disabled veterans. These programs allow veterans to lead others in service projects in their own communities. From this basketball pool, The Mission Continues hopes to fund two fellowships, which will change not only the lives of two worthy and courageous veterans, but also the people and communities they serve.

To register to join our pool:

1. Please contribute $25 below.

2. You will then receive an email from The Mission Continues with the password and username for our group on CBSSports.com.

3. Fill out a bracket at CBSSports.com.

4. Using the password and username you received via email from us, add your completed bracket to The Mission Continues group on CBSSports.com. 

Cash prizes will be available for the top 3 finishers, and depending on the number of participants, First Place will have the chance to win up to $250. 

Space is limited to the first 400 participants, and we hope it will fill up fast. Please register before Wednesday, March 17 at 9:00 p.m. 

Please contact Tony Bryan, Associate Director of Advancement, with any questions at tbryan@missioncontinues.org or 314-571-6156.

Project Details:
What are we doing?  Painting, landscaping, and “fixing up” the “Courtois House” where women who have committed non-violent crimes are transitioning back into society and back into their families’ lives.  All tools and equipment will be provided.

Who should be involved?  Veterans of all eras and veteran-supporters who want to improve our St. Louis community

When? Saturday, March 27th from 9am – Noon.  Volunteers and residents of the Courtois House will celebrate our volunteer efforts with pizza at Noon.

Where?  Courtois House (322 Courtois Ave) in the Carondelet Neighborhood of South St. Louis

Why? Because the women of the Courtois House are courageously re-taking their lives and we want to support them.  Also, The Mission Continues exists to challenge our returning veterans to continue their lives of service.  We need our veterans as service leaders in our St. Louis community.

The Mission Continues will be one of ten featured charity partners for the April 10 - 11, 2010 Go! St. Louis marathon. GO! St. Louis®, a not-for-profit organization, encourages individuals and families in the region to adopt a healthy lifestyle by getting fit, staying active, and eating a nutritional diet year round. The organization accomplishes this through school based programming, community collaborations, the creation of new and unique fitness events and outreach to senior/retirement centers.

On April 11th, I will be running in the St. Louis Marathon to raise money and awareness for The Mission Continues, an organization that provides Fellowships to wounded and disabled veterans.  Please help me help our veterans by donating today!
I will be running the St. Louis Marathon on April 11th in support of The Mission Continues. Thus I am on the road again. Are you now fully convinced to donate to my cause?

Half marathon. This would be my 3rd year in the event and the first time for a cause.

Please help me raise money for those who have been there for you and now need your support. 

Thanks,

On April 11th, I will be participating in my 10th half-marathon and raising money for a great organization called The Mission Continues.  This non-profit organization based out of St. Louis raises money for wounded and disabled veterans.  Won't you please help these soldiers who have given so much to provide us freedom and safety in America? 

I am running the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon for the fourth year in a row, and hope to beat my PR from last year!  Unlike previous years, this year I am running to help raise money for an amazing organization, The Mission Continues, which helps wounded veterans continue to serve their communities.  By contributing to this cause, you can help me support the men and women who serve our country.

Hello family and friends,

I am running in my first half Marathon and raising money to help our wounded and disabled veterans along the way.  Every penny you donate will go directly to The Mission Continues Organization which directly helps our Vets.  Just donating even a dollar will help me reach my goal of $100 or more for this great organization.  Feel free to check out the website at www.missioncontinues.org 

Thanks so much for your help and for supporting these very worthy men and women and all that they have sacrificed. 

Peace,

 Libby Harbaugh

I will be running in the Go! St. Louis on April 11th for a group called the mission continues.  They are an organization that helps disabled and wounded veterans.  I am the proud son of a marine who fought in the Vietnam War and was even shot while serving his country.  It is my honor to do what I can to help those who are serving in our armed services.
