The organization that receives the most votes during the month will win the $25,000 prize to help fund the Screaming Eagle Foundation’s War Garden Project, and will have the opportunity to compete for the grand prize of $250,000 at the end of the year-long program. In the February round of the competition, the Screaming Eagle Foundation is competing against three other veterans-focused organizations across the country including Grand Rapids Home for Veterans in Grand Rapids, Mich., Lompoc Veterans Memorial Building Foundation, Lompoc, Calif., and Sarasota Manatee Association for Riding Therapy, Inc. in Bradenton, Fla. The runner-up organizations will receive $5,000 in The Home Depot gift cards. “If we win the $25,000 from The Home Depot we would be able to help the War Garden Project, a supported program of the Screaming Eagle Foundation, build more gardens throughout the military installation. We will provide a location for horticultural therapy for soldiers and families reintegrating after deployment and for their wounded warriors, specifically those suffering from PTSD. So help us make a difference by voting everyday on Facebook, and tell everyone you know to do the same!” said Wayne St. Louis, executive secretary of Screaming Eagle Foundation.
