Project for Awesome 2016 - United Heroes League
If you didn't know until now, the charity known as Defending the Blue Line has now expanded into the all purpose banner of United Heroes League. The goals are the same, but instead of just creating opportunities for military families with kids in hockey, but more camps involving Baseball, Basketball, and lacrosse. You can donate to them directly by credit card or paypal or mail them a check to the address provided at the websites. Then you can follow their social media campaign under the new banner they have provided. So, I can't really say much more about it that I haven't said already when the organization was first created. So, please watch the short video that I worked so hard on and support the men and women through their families that keep us all free!

Defending the Blueline Gives Military Families Opportunities
In a time when our North American freedoms need protecting more than ever, an often neglected faction of our society goes under-appreciated. Those are the hard-working American families of our armed forces. A Minnesota group hopes to change that for the better as they work to raise awareness for military families in need by providing them with the necessary hockey equipment and other needs. From their mission statement:

Defending the Blue Line is a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization created by soldiers with the spirit of keeping hockey alive for the children of our nations military heroes.This is a really worthy cause that I hope gets more and more recognition. We need to honor those who make the sacrifice of a stable family so that we all can enjoy the comforts of a free country. I couldn't do this blog without them and their true courage.
Our mission at Defending The Blue Line (DTBL) is ensuring that children of military members are afforded every opportunity to participate in the game of hockey. We accomplish this by providing free equipment for military kids, hockey camps, special events, and financial assistance for registration fees and other costs associated with hockey.
